 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, for 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 charged 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 handling 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 boards, connect them straight to the connectors to avoid
slant insertion.

Confidential
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.
13. Be extremely careful not to scratch or contaminate the following parts.
 Nozzle plate of the Printhead
 CR Scale
 PF Scale
 Coated surface of the PF Roller
 Gears
 Rollers
 LCD
 Scanner Sensor
 Exterior parts
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 manual.
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.

1.2 Power-On Sequence

This section describes the power-on sequences in two conditions. The preconditions are as follows.
 Condition 1: Normal power-on sequence (See Table 1-1.)
 Turning on the printer after turning it off without an error.
 Initial ink charge has finished and every cartridge has sufficient ink.
 No paper on the paper path.
 The Printhead is capped with the Cap Assy.
 The CR Unit is normally fixed by the Change Lever.
 Maintenance error recovery has never been performed.
Table 1-1. Condition 1: Normal Power-on Sequence
CR Unit/PF Roller
Operation*1 movement and
position*2
1. Printhead initialization and fuse inspection
1-1.Initializes the Printhead, and checks for the fuse on the circuit boards in the printer.*3

2. Checking for waste ink overflow

2-1.Checks the waste ink counter if the waste ink overflow is occurring.

3. Seeking the home position

3-1.The CR Unit moves to the 80-digit side slowly and confirms it touches the Change Lever (CR lock).

3-2.The CR Unit moves to the 0-digit side slowly.

3-3.After the PE Sensor checks if paper exists, the PF Motor rotates clockwise for one second and releases the CR lock.

3-4.While checking if the CR Unit does not touch the Change Lever (CR lock) or the foreign material, the CR Unit
moves to the 80-digit side slowly until it touches the Left Frame.

3-5.The distance from the position where the CR Unit touched to the Left Frame is regarded as the standard distance
from the origin position, and the home position is fixed.
From then on, the CR Unit position is monitored according to the signals from the CR Encoder.
3-6.The CR Unit moves to near its home position quickly.

4. Detecting ink cartridge and initializing ink system*4

4-1.To check the operation of the PIS Sensor and to detect ink, the CR Unit moves back and forth over the PIS Sensor
three to twelve times.
4-2.The CR Unit returns to its home position.

5. Low temperature operation sequence*5

5-1.The CR Unit quickly moves back and forth between near the Change Lever and near the Left Frame for two times.

Note 1: The rotation directions of the PF Motor are as follows.

Clockwise: Paper is fed normally
Counterclockwise: Paper is fed backward
*2: The conditions of the CR lock are as follows.
Red CR lock is set
White CR lock is released
*3: The fatal error occurs if there is a problem such as the fuse blew.
*4: The empty suction operation may occur depending on the situation.
*5: Executed when the detected temperature is under 5 oC (41oF) by the thermistor on the Printhead.

 Condition 2: Power-on sequence after recovering from a paper jam error (See Table 1-2.)
 Turning on the printer after turning it off with a paper jam fatal error.
 There still remains paper on the paper path out of the detecting area of the PE Sensor.
 Maintenance error recovery has never been performed.

Table 1-2. Condition 2: Power-on Sequence after Recovering from a Paper Jam Error
CR Unit/PF Roller
Operation movement and
position
Executes No.1 to No.3 on the normal power-on sequence (Table 1-1).
4. Detecting remaining paper
4-1.5.The CR Unit returns to its home position.

4-2.The CR Unit moves to the 80-digit side and confirms there is no paper.*1

4-3.The CR Unit quickly returns to its home position, and displays on the LCD or with flashing LEDs that the paper jam
error occurs.

When the user removes the paper and releases the paper jam error by panel operation, the normal power-on sequence from No.1 (Table 1-1) is executed
again.*2

Note *1: “Paper exists” is detected when the CR Unit touches the paper. When “paper does not exist” is detected, the power-on sequence
of condition 1 (Table 1-1) is executed from No.4.
*2: If the paper jam error cannot be solved after repeating the power-on sequence on condition 2 (Table 1-2) twice, the printer turns
into the paper jam fatal error for the third time.

 To recover from the maintenance error, the dedicated software that can be downloaded
from the web site which can be accessed from STM3 is required.
 The printer operation related to the maintenance error recovery is as follows.
• When the waste ink counter reaches the threshold value (1) for the first time and the
maintenance error occurs, the counter threshold of the maintenance error is changed
to threshold value 2 after performing recovery from the maintenance error.
• After the threshold value (2) is enabled, the warning; to notify the possibility of ink
leakage out of the printer, is displayed every time the waste ink counter increases by
1%.
• If the waste ink counter reaches the threshold value (2), the maintenance error occurs.
Then, the waste ink counter is changed back to the threshold value (1) after recovering
from the maintenance error, and the warning is displayed repeatedly according to the
increment of the waste ink counter until the maintenance error occurs when the
threshold value (2) is reached.
(Recovery from the maintenance error can be performed up to the specified number
of times.)

1.3 Fatal Error Code List

This section describes how to check the fatal error code, description, and the possible causes.

1.3.1 Displaying the Fatal Error Code

The fatal error code is stored in the EEPROM on the Main Board and can be read out using the Adjustment
Program. The code can be displayed on the LCD of the control panel by a special panel operation.

 Since XP-231/235/240/245 series does not have LCD, use the Adjustment Program to
check the fatal error code.
 The printer fatal error code can be displayed.
 For the fatal error codes, descriptions, and their possible causes, see " 1.3.2 Printer Fatal

3.3 Mechanism Adjustment / Check

This section provides the procedure for the mechanism adjustment and check.
3.3.1 Checking the Platen Gap
This section describes the procedure for checking the platen gap (PG).

 This printer does not have any PG adjustment mechanism, however, it is designed so that the
platen gap can fall within the expected range if you correctly reassemble the unit (including
using the Epson-specified jigs) according to this manual. If the PG cannot fall within the
standard range after performing the platen gap check described in this section, first check if
the unit is correctly reassembled following the instructions in this manual. Even if the unit is
correctly reassembled but the PG still cannot fall within the standard range, replace the unit
with a new/refurbished one.
 The standard range of the PG is as follows:
• Standard: 1.75 ± 0.25 mm

 Tools
 Thickness gauge: 1.5 mm (x2), 2.0 mm (x2)
 Confirmation procedure

When checking the PG, make sure of the following.

 Check the PG with new ink cartridges installed to the CR Unit, and also with all parts
related to the PG installed to the printer (p 55).
 Move the CR Unit by pulling the CR Timing Belt.
 Be careful not to damage the nozzles of the Printhead with the thickness gauge.
 Confirmation procedure differs depending on the mounted printhead. Therefore, make
sure to confirm which printhead is mounted and check the platen gap accordingly. (p 31)

4.1 Overview
This section provides information to maintain the printer in its optimum condition.

4.1.1 Cleaning
Except for the Printhead, there are no other mechanical parts or units that require periodic cleaning. However, if
need arises, clean the component observing the following instructions.
 Instructions for cleaning
 Exterior parts such as housing
Wipe dirt off with a soft clean cloth moistened with water. For glossy or transparent parts, use of unwoven cloth is
recommended to avoid scratching those parts.
 Inside of the printer
Remove paper dust with a vacuum cleaner.
 Rubber or plastic rollers such as an LD roller used to feed paper
If paper dust adhered to the rollers decreases the frictional force of the rollers and the rollers cannot properly feed
paper, wipe off the paper dust with a soft cloth moistened with diluted alcohol.
 Instructions for cleaning ink stains
Wipe the stains off with a cloth wrung out of diluted alcohol.

 Do not use alcohol for cleaning the transparent parts. Doing so may cause them to get
cloudy.
 When wiping paper dust off the LD Roller, be careful not to rub against the surface
asperity.
 To minimize the effect on the parts, use diluted alcohol such as 70% diluted ether.
 After using alcohol for cleaning, make sure to wipe the part off with a soft dry dust-free
cloth to remove alcohol traces fully.

4.1.2 Lubrication
The type and amount of the grease used to lubricate the printer parts are determined based on the results of the
internal evaluations. Therefore, refer to "4.2 Lubrication Points and Instructions (p71)" for the repairing
procedures below, and apply the specified type and amount of the grease to the specified part of the printer
mechanism.
"4.2 Lubrication Points and Instructions (p71)" also provides information about whether or not the parts which
require lubrication are supplied as ASP and the lubrication status when supplied as ASP. For the parts which are
not supplied as ASP, if their movement is not smooth enough, check their lubrication status and lubricate them if
necessary.

 Operation of the Adjustment Program for refurbishment when performing the ink discharge
Ink discharge can be done by selecting and running “Ink Discharge” from the Adjustment Program for
refurbishment with the jig set on the printer.
At this point, the factory default values except the adjustment-related setting values are written on the EEPROM
on the Main Board of the printer. This is performed in order to erase the personal information including the
network settings and the operating information of the printer before refurbishment, etc.
This default value restoration is automatically done when performing the ink discharge by the Adjustment
Program for refurbishment automatically.

 For the details of how to set the jigs for refurbishment and how to use the Adjustment
Program (for refurbishment), see guide in the Adjustment Program (for refurbishment).
 Approximately four minutes are necessary for completing the Ink Discharge.
