Ink Change Procedure Steps; Important Note; Shade Location Table - Epson pro 4000 Install Procedures

reset the maintenance tank chip one time; if you wish to do it more than once, periodically
check the waste ink level in the tank, to ensure that it does not overfill with waste ink. It is
possible to dis-assemble the maintenance tank and replace the filling with some absorbent
material. Chip resetters are available on-line. Be sure to purchase one specifically for large
format Epson printers

Ink change procedure steps

1. Test the printer with Epson inks, and have the necessary equipment on hand.
2. Turn off the printer, raise the ink levers, and remove the cartridges from the printer. 3.
3. Install the flush or ink cartridges in the printer, and lower the ink levers. 4.
4. Hold down the Left Arrow, Down Arrow, and Up Arrow buttons simultaneously as
you turn on the printer. This activates the Service Menu. 5.
5. The ink change procedure for the 4000 is performed using an INITIAL FILL
procedure. This option is found in the SELF TESTING > CLEANING menu. Follow
the prompts on the LCD screen, and hit the execute button to begin the initial fill. 6.
6. After the initial fill cycle finishes, restart the printer. 7.
7. If you have just installed ink, print a nozzle check pattern. If the ink channels are still
stained with the original color inks, run a KK2 cleaning cycle to clear out the old inks.
The KK2 cleaning option is found in the SELF TESTING > CLEANING menu. After
the KK2 cleaning, print another nozzle check pattern. You should find that the color
stains are gone and the printer is ready for Neutral K7 printing.
8. If you have just installed the flush cartridges, turn off the printer, allow it to sit
overnight or longer (longer periods of time are not harmful to the printer), and then
repeat the above steps to put the ink set in the printer. Allowing the printer to remain
filled with flush fluid will help remove residue from the previous ink set.
Important Note: Do not rely on the "automatic" nozzle check cycle when running
Piezography K7 inks. The printer does not recognize the ink densities of the patterns and will
determine the print head is clogged, even if it is not. Use the "manual" nozzle check cycle
instead.
