Safety Precautions

All safety procedures described here shall be strictly adhered to by all parties servicing and maintaining this product.

DANGER

Strictly observe the following cautions. Failure to comply could result in serious bodily injury or loss of life.

1. Always disconnect the product from the power source and peripheral devices when servicing the product or performing maintenance.

2. When performing works described in this manual, do not connect to a power source until instructed to do so. Connecting to a power source causes high voltage in the power supply unit and some electronic components even if the product power switch is off. If you need to perform the work with the power cable connected to a power source, use extreme caution to avoid electrical shock.

WARNING

Strictly observe the following cautions. Failure to comply may lead to personal injury or loss of life.

1. Always wear protective goggles for disassembly and reassembly to protect your eyes from ink in working. If any ink gets in your eyes, wash your eyes with clean water and consult a doctor immediately.

2. When using compressed air products; such as air duster, fo r cleaning during repair and maintenance, the use of such products containing flammable gas is prohibited.

PRECAUTIONS

Strictly observe the following cautions. Failure to comply may lead to personal injury or damage of the product.

1. Repairs on Epson product should be performed only by an Epson certified repair technician.

2. No work should be performed on this product by persons unfamiliar with basic safety knowledge required for electrician.

3. The power rating of this product is indicated on the serial number/rating plate. Never connect this product to the power source whose voltages is different from the rated voltage.

4. Replace malfunctioning components only with those components provided or approved by Epson; introduction of second-source ICs or other non-approved components may damage the product and void any applicable Epson warranty.

5. The capacitors on the Main Board may be electrically charge right after the power turns off or after driving motors which generates counter electromotive force such as when rotating the PF Roller or when moving the CR Unit. There is a risk to damage the Main Board if the Head FFC is short-circuited with the capacitors on the Main Board electrically charged, therefore, after the power turns off or after motors are driven, leave the printer untouched for approximately 30 seconds to discharge the capacitors before starting disassembly/ reassembly.

6. To prevent the circuit boards from short-circuiting, be careful about the following when handing FFC or cables.

When handling FFC, take care not to let the terminal section of FFC touch metal parts.

  When connecting cables/FFC to the connectors on circuit board, connect them straight to the connectors to avoid

slant insertion.

7. In order to protect sensitive microprocessors and circuitry, use static discharge equipment, such as anti-static wrist straps, when accessing internal components.

8. Do not tilt this product immediately after initial ink charge, especially after performing the ink charge several times. Doing so may cause ink to leak from the product because it may take some time for the waste ink pads to completely absorb ink wasted due to the ink charge.

9. Never touch the ink or wasted ink with bare hands. If ink comes into contact with your skin, wash it off with soap and water immediately. If you have a skin irritation, consult a doctor immediately.

10. When disassembling or assembling this product, make sure to wear gloves to avoid injuries from metal parts with sharp edges.

11. Use only recommended tools for disassembling, assembling or adjusting the printer.

12. Observe the specified torque when tightening screws.

14. Never use oil or grease other than those specified in this manual. Use of different types of oil or grease may damage the component or give bad influence on the printer function.

15. Apply the specified amount of grease described in this manua l .

16. Make the specified adjustments when you disassemble the printer.

17. When cleaning this product, follow the procedure described in this manual.

18. When transporting this product after filling the ink in the printhead, pack the printer without removing the ink cartridges in order to prevent the printhead from drying out.

19. Make sure to install antivirus software in the computers used for the service support activities.

20. Keep the virus pattern file of antivirus software up-to-date.

21. When disassembling/reassembling this product, if you find adhesive power of the double-sided tape which secure the parts or FFC is not enough, replace the tape with new one and attach it correctly to the specified points where the parts or FFC should be secured.

22. Unless otherwise specified in this manual, the labels attached on the returned product should be transferred to the corresponding attachment positions on the new one referring to the labels on the returned product.

2.4 Optical Sensor Control

WP-4590/4540/4530/4520/4510/4090/4020/4010 series uses the optical sensor to control itself. The following describes the operating principles of optical sensor control.

 Control method To ensure accurate printing, each part must be controlled to make an adequate amount (time) of movement. The

optical sensors read the amount (time) of movements as follows to printer to control it for achieving accurate printing.

1. Rotates the motors for control of the printer, and transmits drive force to the each part via the gear or the timing belt.

2. The encoder reads the drive amount of each part from the scale one by one to printer to monitor that the part drives for an adequate amount (time).

 Controlled parts The following table lists where the optical sensor control is used.

ADF Motor ADF Scale ADF Encoder Gear

 Operating principles The following describes the paper feed mechanism drive control as an example of the actual operation for the

optical sensor. The PF scale consists of light-passing and light-blocking portions on its surface, and runs through the slit between

the encoder’s light-emitting and light-receiving devices. While the printer is operating, the encoder always emits light from light-emitting device toward the light-receiving device, and the ligh t-receiving dev ice detects light when the light is transmitted through the light-passing portion of the scale, and does not detect light when the light is blocked by the light-blocking portion of the scale. Accord ing to the counts of light-detected and non detected times, the printer controls paper feed drive direction and amount. When the encoder cannot read light-emitting/blocking counts correctly due to the misalignment, broken or contaminated scale, paper jam, foreign object and increasing a load, the fatal error occurs and the printer stops.

4.2 Disassembly/Reassembly Procedures

4.2.1 Caution when Replacing the Printhead/Ink Supply Unit

For stable ink supply, this product employs a mechanism where the ink in the ink path is pressurized even the power is off. Therefore, if the joint section of the printhead and the Ink Supply Unit is simply disconnected, the ink in the ink tube will spill over.

Figure 4-1. Joint Section of the Printhead and Ink Supply Unit

To prevent this from happening, before separating the Printhead and Ink Supply Unit to replace the Printhead or the Ink Supply Unit, make sure to release the pressure inside the ink path using the Adjustment Program. The following explains the procedure.

 This is not necessary when replacing the Printhead and Ink Supply Unit together with

the Ink System Supply Assy supplied as an ASP.

 Approximately six minutes are required to release the applied pressure.  The ink in the ink path is pressurized in the power-off sequence again, therefore, make

sure not to turn the power off by the power button after the applied pressure is released.

 Tools

 Ink Cartridges (four colors: cyan, magenta, yellow, black)

Do not use user’s ink cartridges since the ink in the ink cartridges is consumed when releasing the pressure. Prepare ink cartridges supplied as consumables for this procedure. (Hereafter, an ink cartridge for this purpose is called as an “ink cartridge (for service use)”.

 Maintenance box

Do not use user’s maintenance box since the ink the ink path flows to the maintenance box when releasing the pressure. Prepare maintenance box supplied as a consumable for this procedure. (Hereafter, a maintenance box for this purpose is called as a “maintenance box (for service use)”.

 Procedure

1. Remove the ink cartridges and maintenance box in the returned unit, and install the ink cartridges

use)

and maintenance box (for service use).

(for service

2. Connect the printer and the PC installed the Adjustment Program with the USB cable, and turn the power on.

3. Start the Adjustment Program, and select the “Ink Pressure Release” from the menu.

4. Click “Execute” in the displayed screen to release the applied pressure.

5. When the completion message appears, unplug the computer power cable. Afterward, remove the parts referring to "4.2.2 Parts/Units Need to be Removed in Advance (p59)" and replace

them referring to "4.2.3 Disassembly Flowchart (p60)".

 When separating the Printhead and the Ink Supply Unit, make sure to perform "5.2.7

Ink Leak Check (p101)" to check if ink is leaking.

 After disconnecting the Printhead and the Ink Supply Unit, ink may spill over even if the

pressure is released. Therefore, be careful not to contaminate the surroundings.

4.2.3 Disassembly Flowchart

This section describes procedures for disassembling the parts/units in a flowchart format. For some parts/units, detailed procedures or precautions are provided (accordingly indicated by icons and cell's color). Refer to the explanations in the example chart below and perform an appropriate disassembling and assembling procedure. (See "4.3 Detailed

Disassembly/Reassembly Procedure for each Part/Unit (p68)".)

For routing cables, see "4.4 Routing FFCs/cables (p77)" .

4.2.3.1 Parts/Units whose Configuration is Different between Models in the Flowchart

The models describe in this manual employ the same printer mechanism but they have different printing related functions and structures shown in Chapter 1 "Product description (p9)". Therefore, the parts/units vary and the shape of them differs even they have the same parts name.

In the flowchart in this section, the parts are in two colors: black for the common parts or units, and blue for the parts or units which differ between models. For the parts or units which differ between models, confirm the composition of the parts for the printer whose disassembly procedure you want to check, and then see the disassembly flowchart.

5.2.5 MAC Address Setting



This setting is not necessary when the data in EEPROM on the Main Board can be read out.

 To avoid a conflict of MAC address on a network, make sure to correctly follow the MAC

address setting flowchart given on the following.

 The user should be notified of the change of MAC address because of the following

reasons.

• If the user has set the printer’s MAC address on a router, the repaired printer with a new MAC address cannot be connected to the network.

• The default printer name on a network consists of “EPSON” and the last six digits of the MAC address. Therefore, the printer name becomes different from the previous one.

 You are required to enter the last six digits of the MAC address (xx:yy:zz) on the

Adjustment Program. MAC address example: 00:00:48:xx:yy:zz (“xx, yy, zz” represents a value unique to each printer)

Figure 5-12. MAC Address Label

Setting procedure

1. After replacing the Main Board, note down the MAC address written on a label on the Main Board Shield Plate Upper Assy.

2. Reassemble the printer, and connect the printer and the PC with the USB cable.

3. Start the Adjustment Program.

4. Select the “Initial Setting” from the menu. The initial setting screen appears.

5. Enter the last six digits of MAC address into the MAC address entry field, and click the MAC Address input button. (Enter the address again into the second entry field to confirm it.)

6. Select the network status sheet from the printer’s control panel, and print the sheet. Check the MAC address printed on the sheet to see if it is correct.
