Replacing A Maintenance Box - Epson PM-520 Operation Manual

PM-520 Operation Guide

Replacing a Maintenance Box

In some print cycles a very small amount of surplus ink may be collected in the maintenance box. To prevent ink
leakage from the maintenance box, the printer is designed to stop printing when the absorbing capacity of the
maintenance box has reached its limit. Whether and how often this is required will vary according to the number of
pages you print, the type of material that you print and the number of cleaning cycles that the printer performs. Replace
the maintenance box when you are promoted to do so. The Epson Status Monitor, your LCD, or lights on the control
panel will advise you when this part needs replacing. The need for replacement of the box does not mean that your
printer has ceased to operate in accordance with its specifications. The Epson warranty does not cover the cost of this
replacement. It is a user-serviceable part.
A
Remove the new maintenance box from its package.

Important:
Do not touch the green chip on the side of the maintenance box. Doing so may prevent normal operation and
printing.

A transparent bag for the used maintenance box is provided with the new maintenance box.

Disconnect all cables such as the power cord and USB cable.
