Safety Precautions
All safety procedures described here shall be strictly adhered to by all parties servicing and maintaining this product.

DANGER
Strictly observe the following cautions. Failure to comply could result in serious bodily injury or loss of life.
1. Always disconnect the product from the power source and peripheral devices when servicing the product or performing maintenance.
2. When performing works described in this manual, do not connect to a power source until instructed to do so. Connecting to a power source causes high voltage in the power supply unit and some
electronic components even if the product power switch is off. If you need to perform the work with the power cable connected to a power source, use extreme caution to avoid electrical shock.

WARNING
Strictly observe the following cautions. Failure to comply may lead to personal injury or loss of life.
1. When using compressed air products; such as air duster, for cleaning during repair and maintenance, the use of such products containing flammable gas is prohibited.

PRECAUTIONS
Strictly observe the following cautions. Failure to comply may lead to personal injury or damage of the product.
1. Repairs on Epson product should be performed only by an Epson certified repair technician.
2. No work should be performed on this product by persons unfamiliar with basic safety knowledge required for electrician.
3. The power rating of this product is indicated on the serial number/rating plate. Never connect this product to the power source whose voltages is different from the rated voltage.
4. Replace malfunctioning components only with those components provided or approved by Epson; 
introduction of second-source ICs or other non-approved components may damage the product and void any applicable Epson warranty.
5. The capacitors on the Main Board may be electrically charged right after the power turns off or after driving motors which generates counter electromotive force such as when
rotating the PF Roller or when moving the CR Unit. There is a risk to damage the Main Board if the FFC is short-circuited with the capacitors on the Main Board electrically
charged, therefore, after the power turns off or after motors are driven, leave the printer untouched for approximately 30 seconds to discharge the capacitors before starting
disassembly/ reassembly.

Confidential
6. To prevent the circuit boards from short-circuiting, be careful about the following when handling FFC or cables.
„ When handling FFC, take care not to let the terminal section of FFC touch metal parts.
„ When connecting cables/FFC to the connectors on circuit boards, connect them straight to the connectors to avoid slant insertion.
7. In order to protect sensitive microprocessors and circuitry, use static discharge equipment, such as anti-static wrist straps, when accessing internal components.
8. Do not tilt this product immediately after initial ink charge, especially after performing the ink charge several times. Doing so may cause ink to leak from the product because it
may take some time for the waste ink pads to completely absorb ink wasted due to the ink charge.
9. Never touch the ink or wasted ink with bare hands. If ink comes into contact with your skin, wash it off with soap and water immediately. If you have a skin irritation, consult a
doctor immediately.
10. When disassembling or assembling this product, make sure to wear gloves to avoid injuries from metal parts with sharp edges.
11. Use only recommended tools for disassembling, assembling or adjusting the printer.
12. Observe the specified torque when tightening screws.
13. Be extremely careful not to scratch or contaminate the following parts.
„ Nozzle plate of the printhead
„ CR Scale
„ PF Scale
„ Coated surface of the PF Roller
„ Gears
„ Rollers
„ LCD
„ Scanner Sensor
„ Exterior parts
14. Never use oil or grease other than those specified in this manual. Use of different types of oil or grease may damage the component or give bad influence on the printer function.
15. Apply the specified amount of grease described in this manual.
16. Make the specified adjustments when you disassemble the printer.
17. When cleaning this product, follow the procedure described in this manual.
18. When transporting this product after filling the ink in the printhead, pack the printer without removing the adapters in order to prevent the printhead from drying out.
19. Make sure to install antivirus software in the computers used for the service support activities.
20. Keep the virus pattern file of antivirus software up-to-date.
21. When disassembling/reassembling this product, if you find adhesive power of the double-sided tape which secure the parts or FFC is not enough, replace the tape with new one
and attach it correctly to the specified points where the parts or FFC should be secured.
22. Unless otherwise specified in this manual, the labels attached on the returned product should be transferred to the corresponding attachment positions on the new one referring
to the labels on the returned product.

1.1.2 Carriage (CR) Mechanism


The major components of the carriage (CR) mechanism are the CR Unit, CR Section view CR Unit
Encoder Sensor, CR Scale, CR Motor, and CR Timing Belt. The CR
mechanism is a key mechanism to ensure stable print quality because printing
is performed by moving the CR Unit from side to side.
As shown on the right, Main Frame is holding the upper side and the lower side
of the CR Unit. The CR Unit is attached to the CR Timing Belt that is moved
by the CR Motor so that the assy can move from side to side to print. The
position and speed of the CR Unit are always monitored by the CR Encoder
Sensor and the CR Scale, and the CR Motor is controlled in accordance with
the information acquired by the CR Encoder Sensor. CR Motor Main Frame

Holder Cam Assy
2750/ET-2760/L4160/ST-2000 series/ET-2700/L4150 series employ the rear
paper loading. The both paper loading mechanisms are driven by the PF Motor,
and the motor is also used for driving the paper feeding mechanism.*1
Intermediate roller
The printer is also equipped with a paper feeding mechanism for auto (inside the Duplex Unit)
duplexing as well as other existing products. The mechanism flips paper after Slider Trans

A sheet of paper is fed inside the printer from the Paper Cassette by the Pick up
Roller Assy.
Because the Pick up Roller Assy needs to be stopped each after it feeds a sheet
of paper, it is necessary to control the transmission of a drive force to the assy.
The control is achieved by the Slider Trans and the Holder Cam Assy. When
the Slider Trans is moved by the CR Unit, the state of engagement between the
transmission gear on the Trans Slider and the Pick up Roller driving gear
changes, which enables switching between transmitting the PF Motor driving
force to the Pick up Roller Assy and not transmitting it.
Even after the CR Unit is detached from the Slider Trans for printing, position EJ Roller

1.1.4 Ink System Mechanism


The major components of the ink system mechanism*1 are a cap, pump unit,
and waste ink tube. Maintenance Box/
Porous Pad Assy
The ink system mechanism employs the slide type capping. When the CR Unit
returns to its capping position (home position), the Print Head is capped. The
pump mechanism, wiper mechanism, and the CR Lock mechanism are driven
by the PF Motor to clean the Print Head.
Waste ink sucked when cleaning the Print Head is collected in the Maintenance
Box/Porous Pad Assy through the pump mechanism.
User replaceable Maintenance Box is installed to ET-4750/ET-4760/L6190/
ST-4000 series/ET-3750/ET-3760/L6170/ST-3000 series/ET-3700/ET-3710/
L6160 series. A CSIC mounted on the Maintenance Box keeps track of how
much waste ink has been collected.
On the other hand, the Porous Pad that cannot be replaced by user is installed to
ET-2750/ET-2760/L4160/ST-2000 series/ET-2700/L4150 series. The
EEPROM on the Main Board keeps track of how much waste ink has been
collected.

OPERATION OF PAPER LOADING MECHANISM Normal operation: ASF locked


Pawl of clutch
Clutch
The following describes how the Change Lever and the clutch work for
transmitting or not transmitting the PF Motor drive force to perform paper
feeding.
† Drive force control by the Change Lever and clutch LD Roller
When the Change Lever holds the pawl of the clutch (ASF lock state), the
clutch is disengaged and the drive force of the PF Motor is not transmitted to
the LD Roller.
CR Unit
When the Change Lever releases the pawl of the clutch (ASF unlock/ASF drive (home position)
state), the clutch is engaged and the drive force of the PF Motor is transmitted Change Lever PF Roller
to the LD Roller.
Operation at paper loading: ASF unlocked
† Normal operation The lock of the Change Lever is
disengaged.
While the CR Unit is in the home position, it prevents the Change Lever from
leaning toward the front side. Therefore, the Change Lever keeps the ASF lock
state regardless of the rotation direction of the PF Motor and the clutch is
disengaged to shut off the drive force of the PF Motor to the LD Roller.

engaged, and the drive force of the PF Motor is transmitted to the LD Roller.
After the ASF is unlocked, the PF Motor starts rotating CW, and the LD Roller
starts rotating in the paper feed direction. The LD Roller and the Retard Roller
separate a sheet of paper from the other sheets on the Hopper and feed it into
the printer. At this point, the Change Lever has returned to the original position
(leaning toward the rear side).
After the LD Roller rotates once, the Change Lever holds the pawl of the clutch
and the ASF is locked. Then, the drive force of the PF Motor to the LD Roller
is shut off, and the paper loading ends.*1
