performing procedures preceded by DANGER Headings.
WARNING Signals a precaution which, if ignored, could result in damage to equipment.
The precautionary measures itemized below should always be observed when performing repair/maintenance procedures.
DANGER
1. ALWAYS DISCONNECT THE PRODUCT FROM THE POWER SOURCE AND PERIPHERAL DEVICES PERFORMING ANY MAINTENANCE
OR REPAIR PROCEDURES.
2. NO WORK SHOULD BE PERFORMED ON THE UNIT BY PERSONS UNFAMILIAR WITH BASIC SAFETY MEASURES AS DICTATED FOR
ALL ELECTRONICS TECHNICIANS IN THEIR LINE OF WORK.
3. WHEN PERFORMING TESTING AS DICTATED WITHIN THIS MANUAL, DO NOT CONNECT THE UNIT TO A POWER SOURCE UNTIL
INSTRUCTED TO DO SO. WHEN THE POWER SUPPLY CABLE MUST BE CONNECTED, USE EXTREME CAUTION IN WORKING ON
POWER SUPPLY AND OTHER ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS.
WARNING
1. REPAIRS ON EPSON PRODUCT SHOULD BE PERFORMED ONLY BY AN EPSON CERTIFIED REPAIR TECHNICIAN.
2. MAKE CERTAIN THAT THE SOURCE VOLTAGES IS THE SAME AS THE RATED VOLTAGE, LISTED ON THE SERIAL NUMBER/RATING
PLATE. IF THE EPSON PRODUCT HAS A PRIMARY AC RATING DIFFERENT FROM AVAILABLE POWER SOURCE, DO NOT CONNECT IT
TO THE POWER SOURCE.
3. ALWAYS VERIFY THAT THE EPSON PRODUCT HAS BEEN DISCONNECTED FROM THE POWER SOURCE BEFORE REMOVING OR
REPLACING PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARDS AND/OR INDIVIDUAL CHIPS.
4. IN ORDER TO PROTECT SENSITIVE MICROPROCESSORS AND CIRCUITRY, USE STATIC DISCHARGE EQUIPMENT, SUCH AS ANTI-
STATIC WRIST STRAPS, WHEN ACCESSING INTERNAL COMPONENTS.
5. REPLACE MALFUNCTIONING COMPONENTS ONLY WITH THOSE COMPONENTS BY THE MANUFACTURE; INTRODUCTION OF
SECOND-SOURCE ICs OR OTHER NON-APPROVED COMPONENTS MAY DAMAGE THE PRODUCT AND VOID ANY APPLICABLE EPSON
WARRANTY.

Safety Information
To prevent accidents during a maintenance procedure, strictly observe the Warnings and Cautions. Do not do anything that is dangerous or not within
the scope of this document.
Do not do anything that is dangerous even if not specifically described in this manual. In addition to the descriptions below and those given in this
manual, there are many situations and circumstances that are dangerous. Be aware of these when you are working with the printer.
Power Supply and Other Electrical Devices
Before starting any service procedure, switch off the printer power and
unplug the power cord from the wall outlet. If you must service the
printer when the power is applied, be aware of the potential for electrical
shock and do all tasks by following the procedures in this manual.
Mechanical Components
If you service gear or roll, manually rotate a drive assembly. Never
hand-rotate or stop the drive assembly while the main motor is rotating.
Do not touch any live part unless you are instructed to
do so by a service procedure.

Laser Beam
To avoid permanent eye damage, follow these directions;
n Before starting ay service procedure, switch off the printer power
and unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
n Do not disassemble the ROS Assembly or any laser component
that displays Laser Warning Sticker.
n Use caution when you are working around the ROS Assembly or
when you are performing laser related repair procedures.
n Do not disassemble the printer in such a way that the laser
beam can exit the printer engine during a print cycle.
Safety Component
Make sure fuses, interlock switches, covers, and panels are all
functioning properly after you have reinstalled or replaced them.
Warning/Caution Label
WARNING and CAUTION labels are stuck on dangerous parts in the
printer to make you aware of the potential dangers that are present
whenyouareworkingwiththoseparts.
The laser beam used for exposing process during
printing is a very powerful, straight, narrow beam of
light that produces extreme heat at its focal point. The
laser beam is this printer is invisible. Although you
cannot see the beam, it can still cause severe damage.
Direct eye exposure to the laser beam may cause eye
injury or blindness. Never place a mirror or a reflective
tool or object in the laser beam path.
