EPSON Stylus Pro 9000

6.1.1 Periodic Maintenance Items

The printer uses sensors and counters to determine when consumable items
need to be replaced. When a consumable part has reached its predetermined
end-of-life according to the corresponding counter, a message appears. See
the table below for parts which require periodic replacement.
Table 6-1. Parts That Require Periodic Replacement
Items LCD Message
Waste Ink Pads "Maintenance Call 0100"
(R/L)
or
"Service Call 00000100"
Ink Tubes "Service Call 00000101"
When replacing the waste ink pads, replace the pads
in the waste ink tank and not the whole tank. Put the
old pads in a plastic bag and throw away the used ink
pads correctly, according to the laws and rules in your
area.

General Maintenance Issues

6.1.2 Product Life Information

The table below shows the product life about the printer body, each
mechanism and various parts. Information regarding to the product life can be
checked by the following way.
Panel Setting: "Printer Status Menu"
The amount of ink remaining is indicated on the LCD. ("F*****E" - F = full, E
= empty, and each asterisk * represents a percentage of the total ink.)
Also, the counters which record these values can be initialized by
"Maintenance Mode 2".
Do not perform the counter initialization without
replacing the corresponding parts and checking their
operation. Since the counters for "Waste Ink Life" and
"Ink Remaining Quantity" influence printer operations,
do not clear them unnecessarily.
Self-Diagnostic Function: "Check: Maintenance" under "Test" menu
