About Service (Adjustment) Programs

Since your printer consumes ink not only for printing but also for other operations like cleaning, a certain amount of ink is wasted and it is collected by the waste ink pad. Therefore, the printer counts the amount of waste ink.
Once the amount of waste ink reaches the predefined limit, the printer indicates "MAINTENANCE REQUEST" and the waste ink pad should be replaced. Also, you must reset the maintenance error condition and the waste ink counter value stored in EEPROM on the mainbord of the printer.

The adjustment program enables you to perform maintenance and adjustment functions such as:

• EEPROM initial setting
• Ink Pad Counter reset
• Initial Ink Charge
• Head ID Setting
• Top margin Adjustment
• Bi-D Adjustment
• USB ID Input

Note: The above list is related to models Epson C20 and C40 only. Other printer models may have different set of functions, and you must doublecheck the service manual for a specific printer that you are going to troubleshoot.
Warning:  misuse of a program may damage printer's EEPROM! Under Window 98 only.
