Periodic Maintenance Items; Product Life Information - Epson Stylus PRO 7000 Service Manual

EPSON Stylus Pro 7000

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"
(Maintenance Kit
or
SP7000,
"Service Call 00000100"
#1054038)
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 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: from the "Test" menu select "Check:
Maintenance"
