If the Maintenance Request No. 0010 or No. 4000 occurs, take the following measure according to the procedure below.
NOTE : There is a priority for occurrence of No. 0010 and No. 4000. Because No. 0010 has the priority, when both No. 0010 and No. 4000 occur at the same time, No. 4000 is not displayed,
but No. 0010 is displayed only. When the cause of No. 0010 is removed, No. 4000 is displayed then.
Note *: When replacing these parts, collect and send them to SEIKO EPSON CORPORATION to request error analysis (See P.50).

4.1 Overview
This chapter describes the Service Program software utility and the adjustment
procedures required after repairing or replacing certain parts.
4.1.1 Precautions
Always observe the following cautions whenever making an adjustment on the printer.
NOTE 1: The adjustments required for the Main Board differs depending on whether the NVRAM on the old board can be backed up or not.
C A U T IO N When writing the backed up NVRAM data to the Main Board, initializing of the printer is done at the same time. If you do not keep
the Adjustment items and the order of Table 4-1, wrong setting data are written on the Main Board and it might not be usable.
2: When the firmware update is required, first check the version of firmware currently installed on the printer, then update the firmware if necessary.
3: The meanings of abbreviations on the list are as follows.
SP=Service Program
RP=Replace
RM=Remove only
4: The adjustment item whose execution mode is indicated “Normal” can be adjusted in the Serviceman Mode. However, the panel operation in the Serviceman mode is
limited. The adjustment item whose execution mode is indicated “Serviceman Mode” cannot be adjusted in the Normal Mode or the Normal Mode is not
recommended.
