Epson stylus c83 用户手册

This section provides information to maintain the printer in its optimum condition.

This printer has no mechanical components which require regular cleaning except the 
Printhead. Therefore, when returning the printer to the user, check the following parts 
and perform appropriate cleaning if stain is noticeable.

o

Exterior parts
Use a clean soft cloth moistened with water, and wipe off any dirt. If the exterior 
parts are stained by the ink, use a cloth moistened with neutral detergent to wipe it 
off.

o

Inside the printer
Use a vacuum cleaner to remove any paper dust.

o

LD Roller
When paper loading function does not operate because friction of the LD roller is 
lowered by any paper dust, set the adhesive side up of the cleaning sheet (included 
in the media) to remove any paper dust. Repeat loading the cleaning sheet several 
times.

If any abnormal print (dot missing, white line, etc.) has occurred or the printer indicates 
the "Maintenance request error" (This error is displayed as "Maintenance call error" in 
the STM3), take the following actions to clear the error.

o

Printhead cleaning
When dot missing or banding phenomenon has occurred, you need to perform the 
printhead cleaning operation

*1

 by using the printhead cleaning function. This 

function can be performed by the control panel operation, the printer driver utility 
and the Adjustment program. 
In case that the cleaning sequence is performed by the control panel operation, 
confirm that the printer is in stand-by state (the Power LED is lighting), and hold 
down the Error reset button on the control panel for more than 3 seconds. Then, 
the printer starts the cleaning sequence (the Power LED blinks during this 
sequence).
In case that you select and perform the manual cleaning by the printer driver 
utility, the most appropriate cleaning mode is selected. The following is the 
process to perform the printhead cleaning from the printer driver utility. 
As for the operation of the Adjustment program, refer to Chapter 5 Adjustment.

*1: The Stylus C63/C64/C83/84 has four modes for manual cleaning, and even 
during printing, the appropriate cleaning mode is automatically selected and 
performed according to various conditions. Therefore the ink consumption amount 
for manual cleaning varies depending on each mode.
