Epson Large Format Service Call Errors

Recommended Posts

9880.jpg

 

Epson continue to improve their printers and with every generation both quality, speed & reliability go from strength to strength but occasionally things do go wrong. When they do, the control panel will indicate the problem with a series of codes. Not all codes are trouble, some are merely service requests which will crop up depending on the printer usage. Unfortunately it isn't an exact science as some error codes may actually mean something else related further down the mechanical line. The following codes relate to the Stylus Pro series which can all be fixed.

Maintenance Tank Error

Whenever a head clean, ink charge or borderless over spray occurs the ink has to go somewhere. Unfortunately it doesn't just disappear so any ink that doesn't make it on to paper makes it's way to specially designed porous pads which act like a sponge to lock in excess ink. Over time theses get full and when they do a message similar to the image on the right appears. If you are looking to purchase a replacement maintenance tank why not visit our main e-commerce site where you can order consumables direct to your door. Most of the 17"+ Stylus Pro printers use the C12C890191 maintenance tank, where as the 3800, & the 3880 use the C13T582000 maintenance cartridge, but the recently introduced 7700 & 9700 had to be different so they use the C12C890501 maintenance tank.

Maintenance Tank

Unlike the domestic inkjet printers, the Pro series is designed specifically for the high end market. With down time costing thousands of pounds a simple problem like saturated porous pads must be dealt with promptly. Replacing these in a smaller Stylus printer is no simple job; the printer needs to be completely dismantled to gain access to the pads which are normally in the bottom of the chassis. This is not the case with the newer larger printers as the porous pads are located on the sides of the printer with anywhere between one to even three on the Stylus Pro 11880 64" wide beast. Simply pull out the container and replace it with a fresh new one.

0040 Cleaning unit EOL

Just like any other mechanical equipment, a printer requires attention to keep it running smoothly. So, just like when the check engine light illuminates on your cars dashboard so does your printer, but instead of a spanner the error 0040 will appear on your control panel LCD which is informing you that a maintenance procedure is due to be performed. This will normally involve replacing the parts which keep the print head clean, hence the error "cleaning unit END OF LIFE". This procedure can be undertaken here at Large Format Repairs for the Epson Stylus Pro 3800 right upto the beast that is the Stylus Pro 11880.

00010040 Printing position error

 

Just like any other mechanical equipment, a printer requires attention to keep it running smoothly. So, just like when the spanner light illuminates on your cars dashboard so does your printer, but instead of a spanner the error 00010040 will appear on your control panel LCD which is informing you that there is a problem with the carriage mechanism. This can be caused by a faulty encoder strip which is required for accurate head positioning thus preventing the initialisation of the printer. This problem can be undertaken here at Large Format Repairs for the Epson Stylus Pro 3800 right upto the beast that is the Stylus Pro 11880.

 

Solution: clean encoder strip or change it by new one.
