User Maintenance
Only light maintenance is required for the Epson SureColor S-Series printers to ensure consistent high-quality output. Aside
from general cleaning of the platen and pressure rollers an operator will only need to perform quick maintenance operations
approximately every 6 months.
If requested, demonstrate the principles involved with maintenance by selecting maintenance via the SureColor Series control
panel then select ‘Head Maintenance’.
If the OK button is pressed the print head will move to the cleaning position on the left hand side of the printer. There are three
operations that can be performed during this time.
Flushing Pad replacement, the wiper cleaner replacement and manual wiper cleaning.
Flushing pad replacement
Wiper cleaner replacement
Wiper removal for cleaning
Full maintenance details can be found in the ‘Epson SureColor User Guide’.
Due to simple accessibility and ease of use, maintenance of the Epson SureColor S-Series can be performed with condence
by the end user rather relying on service providers.
A good tip for continued reliable operations is to leave the printer powered on. When the printer is in sleep mode it uses
very little power and will allow for auto cleaning cycles to operate. It is advised to set ‘periodical cleaning’ to ‘light’ and set
to every 4–6 hours.
If the printer is unused for 7 days or more it is recommended that the ink is discharged and replaced by cleaning uid.
It is important that the cartridges are removed and shaken every day to ensure the ink pigments avoid sedimentation.
Use ‘Ink Refresh’ option in the control panel if uneven colour is noticed on White or Metallic prints.
