--When a memory card stores 9,990
or more images, the first 9,990
images are detected and become
valid in the printer. The detecting
order varies depending on the folder
configuration in the card, in such a
case, which images are included in
the 9,990 or not cannot be
guaranteed. In addition, the files
that can be handled are 9,990;
however, the files that can be
displayed on the LCD at a time are
999. When the existing files exceed
999, the files that are displayed
should be selected with UI. But,
images specified by camera
definition files can be selected to be
printed even when the total number
of images has exceeded 9,990. The
image files that can be specified are
limited up to 999.

Up to 999 images

When a memory card stores 1,000
or more images, the first 999
images are detected and become
valid in the printer. The detecting
order varies depending on the folder
configuration in the card, so which
images are included in the first 999
cannot be defined.
However, images specified by
camera definition files can be
selected to be printed even when the
total number of images has
exceeded 999. Up to 999 camera

Remarks

Note: • About 50% or more range of the mark area must be marked out to be read by the
printer.
• For running out and excessive marking out, the two white/black search patterns shown
above are superimposed on the mark, and judgement is made according to this
matching ratio.
• The judgement criteria is as follows;
black matching: 80% or more, white matching: 50% or more.
• The figure below shows the judgement example according to the rules described
above.

A trimming function is provided as a means of coordinating an image with the
types of photo frames handled by the printer. This function can be switched On/
Off. This function is described briefly below.
The printed photo frame and an image to be printed are matched in length along
one side and the image is resized along the perpendicular side to fit the frame on
that side. Any part of the image that does not fit within the photo frame is trimmed
away (not printed). However, if the number of pixels of the longer side of the
image are more than twice as long as the shortest side, the trimming function is not
effective when printing even the trimming is set. The trimming function is always
set On if borderless or upper half layout is selected.

NOTE: For SX410/SX210 series, the CR lock setting sequence (operation 8)
differs from the sequence for NX510 series.

4-2.The carriage slowly moves to the CR lock set position.

Condition 2: Power-on sequence after recovering from a paper jam error
(refer to Table 2-5)

Turning on the printer after turning it off with a paper jam error.
There still remains paper on the paper path out of the detecting area of the PE
sensor.

NOTE: For SX410 series, the detecting remaining paper sequence (operation 6)
is not implemented.

4-4.The PF motor rotates counterclockwise, and sets the CR lock.

4-5.The carriage moves to the 80-digit side slowly and confirms it
touches the CR lock.

2.3 Printer Initialization
There are four kinds of initialization method, and the following explains each
initialization
1.

Hardware initialization
This printer is initialized when turning the printer power on, or printer recognized
the cold-reset command (remote RS command).
When printer is initialized, the following actions are performed.
(a) Initializes printer mechanism
(b) Clears input data buffer
(c) Clears print buffer
(d) Sets default values

Operator initialization
Initialization when resetting the USB software, and the following are performed.
(a) Clears input data buffer
(b) Clears print buffer
(c) Sets default values

Software initialization
The ESC@ command also initialize the printer.
When printer is initialized, the following actions are performed.
(a) Clears print buffer
(b) Sets default values

IEEE 1284.4 “rs” command initialization
The printer recognized the IEEE 1284.4 “rs” command.
When printer is initialized, the following action is performed.
Initialization when an error occurs.
(a) Initializes printer mechanism
(b) Clears input data buffer
(c) Clears print buffer
(d) Sets default values

6-1.The carriage moves to the 80-digit side and confirms there is no
paper.*1
6-2.The carriage quickly returns to its home position, and displays on
the LCD that the paper jam error occurs.
When the user removes the paper and releases the paper jam error by panel operation, the normal poweron sequence from No.1 (Table 2-4) is executed again.*2

Note : The power-on operations of SX410 series in condition 2 differs from the above
sequence since the detecting remaining paper sequence (operation 6) is not
implemented for SX410 series.
Note *1 :

“Paper exists” is detected when the carriage touches the paper. When “paper does
not exist” is detected, the power-on sequence of condition 1(Table 2-4) is executed
from No.6.

*2 :

If the paper jam error cannot be solved after repeating the power-on sequence on
condition 2 (Table 2-5) twice, the printer turns into the paper jam fatal error for the
third time.

3.1 Overview

3.1.1 Specified Tools

This chapter describes how to solve problems.

This printer does not require any specified tools for troubleshooting.

W A R N IN G

C H E C K
P O IN T

To avoid electric shocks, be careful when checking the electrical
circuit boards below while the power is on.
• NX510 series: CA48 MAIN and C687 PSE/PSB boards
• SX410 series: CA20 MAIN and C687 PSE/PSB boards
• SX210 series: CA47 MAIN and C687 PSE/PSB boards
Touching an FET, transistor or heat sink with one hand while
touching a metal part of the mechanism with the other hand
could result in an electric shock, so carefully avoid this.
After initial filling of ink has been repeated several times,
immediate moving or tilting of the printer could result in
leaking of ink that has not been completely absorbed by the
Waste Ink Pad. When initial filling of ink has been repeated
several times, check the ink remaining in the tip of the Waste
Ink Tube and the waste ink not absorbed by the Waste Ink Pad
before moving the printer.

Revision A

3.1.2 Preliminary Checks
Before starting troubleshooting, be sure to verify that the following conditions
are all met:
The power supply voltage must be within the specification limits. (Measure the
voltage at the wall socket.)
The power code must be free from damage, short circuit or breakage, or miswiring
in the power code.
The printer must be grounded properly.
The printer should not be located in a place where it can be exposed to too high or
low temperature, too high or low humidity, or abrupt temperature change.
The printer should not be located near waterworks, near humidifiers, near heaters
or near flames, in a dusty atmosphere or in a place where the printer can be
exposed to blast from an air conditioner.

Disassembly and reassembly of parts is often required when
identifying the causes of problems. The parts should be
disassembled and re-assembled correctly while referring to
“DISASSEMBLY/ASSEMBLY” (p.91) so that the operation
and status of each check item can be correctly verified.
Some individual part and units may require adjustment once
they are removed or replaced. If removing or replacing parts
which have specific instructions for adjustment included in
“DISASSEMBLY/ASSEMBLY” (p.91), be sure to make these
adjustments after repairing the problem location.
In this chapter, the product names are called as follows:

The printer should not be located in a place where volatile or inflammable gases
are produced.

5.2.8 MAC Address Setting (NX510 series only)

C H E C K
P O IN T

Overview
NX510 series have a network function and stores there MAC address (Media

Access Control Address) in the EEPROM on the Main Board. The Main Board
supplied as an ASP does not come with the MAC address written on it,
therefore, you are required to set the MAC address to the new Main Board after
replacement. The following explains the procedure.

Revision A

You are required to enter the last six digits of the MAC address
(xx:yy:zz) on the Adjustment Program.
MAC address example: 00:00:48:xx:yy:zz
(“xx, yy, zz” represents a value unique to each printer)

Setting flowchart
START

C A U T IO N

When the data of EEPROM on the old Main Board can be read
out, this adjustment is not required.
To avoid a conflict of MAC address on a network, make sure to
correctly follow the MAC address setting flowchart given on the
right.
The user should be notified of the change of MAC address
because of the following reasons.
• If the user has set the printer’s MAC address on a router, the
repaired printer with a new MAC address cannot be
connected to the network.
• The default printer name on a network consists of “EPSON”
and the last six digits of the MAC address. Therefore, the
printer name becomes different from the previous one.

Is the MAC address on
the label readable?
No

Replace the Main Board with a new one.

Attach a new MAC address label
on the MB Upper Shield Plate

Replace the Main Board with
a new one.
Enter the MAC address
written on the label using the
Adjustment Program.

END

Enter the new label MAC address using
the Adjustment Program and set it.

Preparation
When replacing the Main Board, make sure to note down the MAC address written on
a label on the MB Upper Shield Plate. If the address is not readable due to
contamination or any other cause, attach a new MAC address label (part code: TBD)
and note down the new address. See “ 4.4.1 Main Board Unit ” (p.105) for description
about the label position.

6.1 Overview

6.1.2 Service Maintenance
If any abnormal print (dot missing, white line, etc.) has occurred or the printer indicates
the “Maintenance request error” (This error is displayed as “Service Required” in the
STM3), take the following actions to clear the error.

This section provides information to maintain the printer in its optimum condition.

6.1.1 Cleaning
This printer has no mechanical components which require regular cleaning except the
Printhead. Therefore, when returning the printer to the user, check the following parts
and perform appropriate cleaning if stain is noticeable.
C A U T IO N

Never use chemical solvents, such as thinner, benzine, and
acetone to clean the exterior parts of the printer like the
Housing. These chemicals may deform or deteriorate the
components of the printer.
Be careful not to damage any components when you clean
inside the printer.
Do not scratch the coated surface of the PF roller. Use a soft
brush to wipe off any dusts.
Use a soft cloth moistened with alcohol to remove the ink stain.
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.

Exterior parts
Use a clean soft cloth moistened with water, and wipe off any dirt. If the exterior
parts are stained by the ink, use a cloth moistened with neutral detergent to wipe it
off.

6.1.2.1 Printhead cleaning
When dot missing or banding phenomenon has occurred, you need to perform the
Printhead cleaning operation* by using the Printhead cleaning function. This function
can be performed by the control panel operation, the printer driver utility and the
Adjustment program.
* : This product has three modes for manual cleaning, and even during printing, the
appropriate cleaning mode is automatically selected and performed according to
various conditions. Therefore the ink consumption amount for manual cleaning
varies depending on each mode.

6.1.2.2 Maintenance request error
Ink is used for the Printhead cleaning or cap flushing operation as well as the printing
operation. When the ink is used for the Printhead cleaning or flushing operation, the
ink is drained via the pump to the Waste ink pads. The amount of the waste ink is
stored as the waste ink counter into the EEPROM on the Main Board. Due to this,
when the waste ink counter has reached the limit of the absorbing capability of the
Waste ink pads, the Maintenance call error is indicated on Status monitor 3. However,
the limit value of the waste ink counter varies according to the usage.
C H E C K
P O IN T

Inside the printer
Use a vacuum cleaner to remove any paper dust.
LD Roller
When paper loading function does not operate because friction of the LD roller is
lowered by any paper dust, use a soft cloth moistened with alcohol to remove the
paper dust.

MAINTENANCE

Revision A

Refer to following chapter about indication of the maintenance
request error.
Chapter 3" TROUBLESHOOTING" (p.56)

When the maintenance request error has occurred, replace the waste ink pad with new
one and clear the waste ink counter stored into the EEPROM. If the waste ink counter
is closed to its limit, we recommend to replace the Waste ink pad with new one. This is
because the Maintenance request error will may occur after returning the repaired
product to the customer.
