Service Req. error 00010007-is occurs when the ` Green tab becomes
locked on the Print head. Lift the top lid of the Epson 4000, Locate the
Print Head and pull this Green tab out. Turn the printer OFF then back
ON.
Film curl - If the film curls up, toward the ceiling, the Epson 4000 printer `
will have a difficult time recognizing the film. It helps to have the film lay
flat or curl down, toward the floor. FastPOSITIVE has the correct curl.
To Remove Jam or Reload film - On the rear of the printer is the Roller `
Release Lever. Pull the lever back, away from the printer. Now you pull
out the film or straighten it. Once the jam is cleared or the paper is re-
loaded, push the Release Lever forward.
Reset - Sometimes it may be necessary to reset the printer. To do this, `
hold down the Pause button for 3 seconds.
Clear horizontal lines through the image - If you have clear horizontal `
lines running through the image, a head cleaning will need to be per-
formed. A general head cleaning can be done through the regular Epson
driver. Resolving this issue may require up to 10 Head Cleaning cycles. If
10 head cleanings do not fix the problem, run a Power Cleaning. A Power
cleaning is done from the interface of the Epson 4000 printer.
To run a Power Cleaning, your ink cartridges need to be more than 50% `
full or you cannot run a Power Cleaning. e status of the printer must
say Ready. On the printer interface, push the right arrow button or Enter
button. Push the Up or Down arrow button until you see Maintenance.
Push the right arrow button. Push the Down arrow button until PWR
Cleaning. Push the right arrow button. Push the right arrow button again.
Follow the menu messages.
Excessive Dot Gain - If you have excessive dot gain in the halftones, run a `
head cleaning on the printer.
Ink button light is solid Red - If the Ink button light is solid red, then `
one of the ink cartridges is empty. If any color ink cartridges read empty,
you will NOT be able to print through FastRIP. We recommend you have
extra color cartridges on hand.
UltraChrome Ink - e Epson 4000 printer comes with UltraChrome `
(Pigment) ink. Pigment ink does NOT adhere to non-waterproof film.
Pigment ink will only work with waterproof film like FastPOSITIVE WP
film available from U.S.Screen.
Maintenance Tank - We recommend you have an extra Maintenance `
Tank on hand. If the Tank is full, you will not be able to print using the
Epson 4000 printer.
