1.1.2 Checks and Precautions before Disassembling

1.1.2.1 Factors which Affect the Print Quality
Some pictures in this manual are for Epson Stylus Photo R280/
R285/R290; therefore, the shapes of the parts are different from
those of L800/L801, but the differences does not affect the
disassembly/reassembly procedures.
HOW TO PLACE THE INK TANK ASSY WHEN DISASSEMBLING/

REASSEMBLING
The film under sealing film attached on the Ink Supply Tank Assy of this
printer is ventilation film. The ink in the ink tanks is vented to atmosphere
through this film to keep ink supply to the Printhead stable. If the film gets wet
with ink, the ink in the tanks is not properly vented and printing may not be
capable.
This chapter describes procedures for disassembling the main parts/units of

L800/L801. Unless otherwise specified, disassembled parts/units can be
reassembled by reversing the disassembly procedure. See the cautions or tips
for disassembly/reassembly described in 1.2 Disassembly/Reassembly
Procedures (p17).
In order to prevent this from occurring, make sure to place the Ink Supply Tank
Assy as shown below after removing it.
Read the following before disassembling and reassembling.

2.2 Using the Adjustment Program
2.2.2 Head Angular Adjustment
This section describes how to judge the adjustment patterns printed by the
Adjustment Program. For information on how to operate the Adjustment
Program, see the instructions displayed by the Adjustment Program.
2.2.1 Top Margin Adjustment
Two patterns are printed as shown below.

Band pattern
The following pattern is printed. The lines below 0 >> 80 are printed while
the carriage moves from the home to the other side, and lines below 80 >> 0
are printed while the carriage returns to the home.
Patterns are printed as shown below.
0 to 80 column
80 to 0 column
[Judging Standard]
The distance from a paper top edge to a line is:
-16
-16
-14
-14
-12
-12
4 mm or more: Choose the - from a combobox.

2 mm or less: Choose the + from a combobox.
Figure 2-1. Top Margin Adjustment Pattern
How to Judge
Measure the distance from the top edge of paper to the printed line, and enter
any one of the -, 0, + according to the judging standard.
Figure 2-2. Head Angular Adjustment (Band) Pattern
How to Judge
Examine the printout patterns and enter the value (-16 to 16) for the most
straight lines.
Additional information
When 16 or -16 is the most straight lines, it indicates that the printhead is not
installed correctly. Reassemble the printhead and carry out this adjustment again.

Described below is the platen gap (PG) adjustment.

Purpose:
Adjust the distance between the head surface and the Paper Guide Front Assy
(platen) properly and adjust the parallelism on the 0th column side and on the 80th
columns side to ensure reliable print quality.
Once the Carriage Assy and/or Adjustment Bushes have been removed or
whenever necessary for any other reason, make this adjustment to correct the
deviation of the platen gap.

The thickness gauge to be used must be free from dust and dirt
and from deformation. Be sure to clean it before use.
Take care that the Print Head is not soiled or scratched.
To ensure high accuracy of adjustment, install the Adapters in
the carriage, and move the carriage right and left by pulling the
belt without holding the carriage.
Make this adjustment after installing the Printer Mechanism
and CISS section. (Install the Linear Scale after adjustment.)
Refer to 1.2.2 Disassembly Flowchart (p.18).
With L800/L801, four stages of PG setting are available by
means of the APG Mechanism. However, make this adjustment
with the mechanism in the minimum PG position (PG-: 1.2

3.1 Overview
3.1.2 Service Maintenance

If any abnormal print (dot missing, white line, etc.) has occurred or the printer
indicates the Maintenance request error, take the following actions to clear
the error.
(This error is displayed in EPSON Status Monitor 3 and with LED.)
This section provides information to maintain the printer in its optimum

condition.
3.1.1 Cleaning
3.1.2.1 Printhead cleaning
Except for the printhead, there are no other mechanical parts or units that
require periodic cleaning. However, if need arises, clean the component
observing the following instructions.
When dot missing or banding appears on images, run the Printhead cleaning
cycle.* The cleaning be activated from the control panel, the printer driver
utility or the Adjustment program.
Instructions for cleaning
Exterior parts such as housing

Wipe dirt off with a soft clean cloth moistened with water.
For glossy or transparent parts, use of unwoven cloth is recommended to
avoid scratching those parts.
Inside of the printer

Remove paper dust with a vacuum cleaner.
Note * :
3.1.2.2 Maintenance request error
Rubber or plastic rollers such as an LD roller used to feed paper

If paper dust adhered to the rollers decreases the frictional force of the rollers
and the rollers cannot properly feed paper, wipe off the paper dust with a soft
cloth moistened with diluted alcohol.
Instructions for cleaning ink stains

Wipe the stains off with a cloth wrung out of diluted alcohol.
C A U T IO N
Do not use alcohol for cleaning the transparent parts. Doing so

may cause them to get cloudy.
When wiping paper dust off the LD roller, be careful not to rub
against the surface asperity.
To minimize the effect on the parts, use diluted alcohol such as
70% diluted ether.
After using alcohol for cleaning, make sure to wipe the part off
with a soft dry dust-free cloth to remove alcohol traces fully.
Maintenance
This printer has three manual cleaning modes. The appropriate cleaning mode is
automatically selected and performed according to various conditions. The ink
consumption amount for manual cleaning varies depending on the mode.
Ink is consumed also for cleaning and flashing operations. When the ink is used
for cleaning and flashing operations, the ink is drained to the Waste Ink Pads
via the Pump. The amount of the waste ink is stored as the waste ink counter
into the EEPROM. When the waste ink counter has reached the limit of the
absorbing capability of the Waste Ink Pads, the maintenance request error is
displayed. This printer takes the ink evaporation amount into consideration,
therefore the counter limit differs depending on how often printing is made.
When the maintenance request error appears, replace the Waste ink pads with a
new one and reset the waste ink counter using the Adjustment program. If the
waste ink counter is close to its limit, recommend that the Waste ink pads will
be replaced with new one. This is because the Maintenance request error will
may occur after returning the repaired product to the customer.

recognized because APG is not reset yet.
Checks if the carriage is not deadlock such as the CR lock is caught in the gap of the
carriage.
Eject the paper if any.
When paper exists, the existing measurement value saved in EEPROM is read out;
therefore, the PF Motor does not rotate.
Executes when the detected temperature is under 5 oC (41oF) by the thermistor on
the Printhead.
The empty sanction operation may occur depending on the situation.
If paper remains in the printer, the PF Roller rotates by steps enough to eject the

[Troubleshooting]
When the error occurs at
turning on the printer, set the
CD-R guide (stacker) in the
lower paper position.
When the error occurs at
printing, set the CD-R guide
(stacker) in correct position
according to the print job.
If the error occurs again though
confirming two of the above,
check CD-R Guide Sensor /
Main Board.
*1: If the printer can turn on but turns off right away, the protection circuit may cut off the power due to an error such as a
circuit failure.
*2: The total number of printing (TP) and CD-R printing (CP) are printed on the check pattern. If any of the two counts
exceeds the specified value, make sure to replace the required parts.
*3: Only for manual duplex print
*4: In case of Not Trouble Found, check fatal error code.
