Removing The Cable Connection Plate - Epson Stylus Pro 9000 - Print Engine Service Manual

EPSON Stylus Pro 9000

REMOVING THE CABLE CONNECTION PLATE

1. Insert a screwdriver through one of the holes in the ink tube support frame,
loosen the two screws securing the tube guide fixing plate on the
underside of the cable connection plate, and remove the plastic ink tube
guide protector on the top-right side of the cable connection plate.
(Use a 100 mm to 150 mm length plus/cross head (Phillips) driver.)
If the printer has been used, there is a chance the screws at
either end of the ink tube support frame may be worn. The
ink tube guides and cables rub these screws every time
they make a pass. If the heads of the screws are worn,
replace the screws.
NOTE: If the replacement ink tubes do not have a O-rings and screws,
remove the O-rings and screws from the old tubes and put them
aside for re-use later.
2. Carefully remove the cable connection plate so as not to scratch or catch
the timing fence. The carriage FFCs, tube guides, and tube guide fixing
plate will come off with the cable connection plate.
3. Disconnect the FFCs from the junction board, and remove the FFCs.
Disassembly & Assembly
4. Remove the HP position (head origin) and Linear Encoder (CR ENC)
