Epson 2200 Service Manual - Page 217

EPSON Stylus PHOTO 2100/2200 Revision B 6.1.3.2 Maintenance Request Ink is used for operations such as head cleaning as well as printing. In that case, the ink is drained into the Waste ink pad and its amount is counted by the Protection counter A (Waste ink counter) set in the EEPROM on the control board. When the preset value is reached, the Waste ink counter detects that the Waste ink pad has reached its predetermined limit, and the printer displays "Maintenance request" to indicate that the Waste ink pad should be replaced. ! Protection Counter A Limit: Up to 60352 ! Timing for Replacing the Waste Ink Pad: " When the Protection counter A reaches the above level, the printer displays "Maintenance request" and does not accept switch inputs except the power switch. " You can check the value of the Protection counter A in Chapter 5 "ADJUSTMENT". During repair servicing, therefore, check the counter independently of the repair items. If the Protection counter A value of the printer is close to its limit, notify your customer and recommend that the Waste ink pad be replaced (if the Waste ink pad is not replaced at that time, the printer is expected to be returned for repair in the near future due to a "Maintenance request" error). Once you have the confirmation of the customer, replace the Waste ink pad and reset the counter. " Under the specific conditions, the limit level of the counter is preset to 25000 pages for black ink or to 10000 pages for color ink. We assume that the limit level will be reached in about 5 years in normal use. ! Replacement Procedure: Replacement of Waste Ink Pad in Disassembly and Assembly (Refer to 4.2.3 "Removing the Waste Ink Pads" on page 131.) ! After the Replacement: • Reset the Protection Counter A (Refer to Chapter 5 "ADJUSTMENT" ) • Panel Operation (Refer to 1.3.6 "Special Setting Mode Function" on page 29.) 6.1.4 Lubrication The lubrication used for the components of the printer has been decided on based on evaluation carried out by Epson. As a result, the specified amount of lubricant should be applied in the places specified when carrying out repair and maintenance work. C A U T IO N " Never use oil or grease other than those specified in this manual. Use of different types of oil or grease may damage the components or affect the printer functions.
