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. Always wear protective goggles for disassembly and reassembly to protect your eyes from ink in working. If
any ink gets in your eyes, wash your eyes with clean water and consult a doctor immediately.
2. 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 Head 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.
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.
Confidential
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
ink cartridges 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.

2.1.5 Checks and Precautions before Disassembling

2.1.5.1 Factors which Affect the Print Quality
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.
In order to prevent this from occurring, make sure to place the Ink Supply Tank Assy as shown below after
removing it.

3.3 Details of Adjustments

This section provides adjustment procedures for which explanation in details is necessary. See "3.1 Required
Adjustments (p55)" for the adjustments not explained here.
3.3.1 Checking the Platen Gap

This section describes the procedure for checking the platen gap (PG).
 The standard range of the PG is as follows:

• Standard: 1.7 ± 0.14 mm
 Check the platen gap before installing the CR Scale.
 Tools
 Thickness gauges for PG check: 1.48 mm gauge, 1.76 mm gauge
 Teflon tape: Commercially available product (thickness: 0.08 mm)
3.3.1.1 Preparation
This section describes how and what to prepare for the preparation before starting the PG check.
 Modification of the thickness gauges
 The Printhead of this printer has an integral structure of the Printhead Cover and
Printhead nozzle surface. Therefore, if the thickness gauge touches the nozzle surface in
the same way as performed in the traditional procedure, the nozzle surface may be
damaged. When checking the platen gap, make sure to apply Teflon tape (thickness : 0.08
mm) on all the thickness gauges used for checking the Platen Gap in advance.
 Use commercially available Teflon tape of 0.08 mm in thickness.
 When applying Teflon tape on the thickness gauges, make sure no bubbles or foreign
material remain under the tape.
[Bubbles] [Foreign material]
 Application procedure of Teflon tape.

1. Clean the surfaces of the thickness gauge by using alcohol, and make sure no dirt or contamination remains on
the surfaces.
2. Apply Teflon tape on the thickness gauge as shown below.

Figure 3-2. Modification of Thickness Gauge (2)
When trimming the Teflon tape, the teflon tape can be easily cut out by guiding the half
thickness gauge.
 Make sure to wear the heavy gloves to prevent the cutter from cutting the hand when
trimming the Teflon tape.
4. Make sure any tears or burrs on the applied Teflon tape, then the modification of thickness gauges is complete.

Confidential
3.3.1.2 Confirmation procedure

When performing the PG adjustment, make sure of the following.
 Make sure the parts assembled on the CR Unit are as follows.
Part(s) to be assembled on the CR Unit: Part(s) NOT to be assembled on the CR Unit

• Empty Adapters • CR Scale
• Adapter Cover
• Tube Guide Sheet*
• Ink Supply Adapter Tube Assy*
Note "*": Not necessarily removed from the printer if the part(s) is/are not assembled on the CR Unit.
 Move the CR Unit by pulling the top of the CR timing belt.

 Be careful not to damage the nozzle surface of the Printhead with the thickness gauge.
 When make the Printhead touch the thickness gauge, be careful not to let the Printhead
run onto the gauge.
1. Move the CR Unit in the middle of the printer.

2. Place the 1.48 mm thickness gauges protected with Teflon tape on the points shown below.
80-digit side 0-digit side
Thickness gauges Thickness gauges
Figure 3-3. Position of the Thickness Gauge
3. Move the CR Unit to the right and to the left to make sure that the CR Unit does not touch the gauges. If it
touches a gauge, the PG is narrower than the standard. In such a case, reassemble or replace the Printer
Mechanism.
4. Move the CR Unit back in the middle of the printer and place the 1.76 mm thickness gauges protected with
Teflon tape on the same points as in Step 2.
5. Move the CR Unit to the right and to the left to make sure that the CR Unit touches the gauges. If it does not
touch any gauge, the PG is wider than the standard. In such a case, reassemble or replace the Printer
Mechanism.

4.1 Cleaning
4.1.1 Cleaning the nozzle plate section of the printhead
 This cleaning should be carried out only if you can see foreign material on the nozzle
plate of the printhead.
 Make sure not to break the nozzle plate with excess force.
 Make sure not to deform the head cover.
 To prevent mixed colors, make sure to clean it parallel to the nozzle line.
 Only wipe off where foreign material attaches, and do not touch the other sections to the
utmost. If foreign material is big, make sure to wipe it off with a clean part of a soft dry
dust-free cloth in batches.
 When cleaning the nozzle plate of the printhead, actual ink/pure water/CR02 can be used
to enhance transcription. But, make sure not to use the undesignated liquid (tap water/
CR06) because they may have a negative influence on the printhead filter.
 Tools
 Soft dry dust-free cloth
 Liquid (pure water/CR02)
 Cleaning procedure
1. Remove foreign material by moving a soft dry dust-free cloth slowly and lightly.

4.1.2 Cleaning the CR Unit

In this product, ink may be attached on the CR Unit by structure of Printhead and CR Unit.
So, head short circuit may arise due to ink attachment on the terminal of the head FFC when replacing the
printhead.
 This cleaning should be carried out only when replacing the printhead.
 When installing the Printhead, make sure the Head FFC is not contaminated with ink
beforehand.
 Tool
 Cotton swab or soft dry dust-free cloth
 Cleaning procedure
1. After pulling out the head FFC while holding the printhead from the carriage, confirm the ink
attachment on the CR Unit.
2. If ink attached on the CR Unit, wipe it off with a cotton swab (or a soft dry dust-free cloth).
Confidential
4.1.3 Cleaning the Exterior Parts/inside of the printer

This section describes how to clean the sections other than the carriage.
 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.
 Rubber or plastic rollers such as an Pickup 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.
 Do not use alcohol for cleaning the transparent parts. Doing so may cause them to get
cloudy.
 When wiping paper dust off the Pickup Roller/Middle 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.

4.4 Shipping Setting

This section describes the shipping setting.
 Regarding Epson ET-4550, L655/656, Scanner CR moves to the 0-digit side after the
initial ink charge compared with being at the 80-digits side in factory default. Scanner
CR may fall by shocked in transportation and so on because there is no structure for
scanner CR not to fall at the 80-digits side. Therefore, move the scanner CR of all
repaired products to 0-digit side.
 Object product
All products
 Setting procedure
1. Finish repairing, adjustment, printing inspection and so on before it is possible to ship products.
2. Start the adjustment program.
3. Select the “Shipping setting” from the menu. The shipping setting screen appears.
Perform button
Check the check box of the replaced parts.
4. Check the checkbox of the “Scanner position set during transportation” and press the “Write” button.
5. Make sure the scanner CR moved to the 0-digit side when the shipping setting was finished.
