PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
EPSON Stylus Pro 5000
Chapter1 Product Description
1.1 FEATURES
EPSON Stylus Pro 5000 is a 6-color ink jet printer , which can output colors for the professional level. Major features are following.
T T Y
Y
Independent 4 colors ink cartridges: Black, Yellow, Cyan including with light cyan, Magenta including light magenta. Ink quantity sensor. Note) After ink near end is detected by the mechanical switch, the firmware counts the determined absorbing quantity.
Professional color print quality 1440(H) x 720(V) dpi printing at the highest resolution setting. Photo reproduction quality(6 color printing, C.M, Y, K, LC, LM) By micro dot + super micro dot, super fine printing equivalent to Comoro Wide is available. T PostScript printing(option)

High speed printing Color 360 dpi A4: Color 720 dpi A4:
1.1 PPM 0.39 PPM
Paper handling Double bin ASF(second bin option) Manual feeding from the top cover of first bin and from the rear with opened rear cover. T Paper volume for ASF/Paper size sensor/Paper type sensor Note) Those sensors do not work correctly, if users set the paper size or media type lever wrong. T Increased paper loading capacity in the paper tray (55 g/m2 250 cut sheets/ Standard, option ASF)
T T
Built in 3 types of interfaces Bi-directional parallel interface (IEEEP1284.4/ECP support) Mac. Serial interface(up to approx. 1.8M bps) Type-B interface (SIM for copying up to approx. 98M is available to install on the same board;C228 main board)
Y
Windows/Macintosh exclusive
Y
Low running cost Long life ink cartridge; Black: 3200 papers, Yellow: 3200 papers, Cyan/Magenta:3000 papers (5% ECOMA duty printing)
Note) Cyan/Magenta ink is united as one, which light color and ordinary color ink are separated. The reason why that ink life span is not so different from others even though they are separated is that users are usually unable to perform printing which require strict separation of light color and ordinary color. Therefore, since light color and ordinary color inks are adjusted to be used alternately on the application, the life span of Cyan/Magenta does not become simply half life span of the other inks.

BUFFER OPERATION Stylus Pro5000 starts sending BUSY signal when it acknowledges no available area left in the buffer. When the host keeps receiving this signal for a long time, it acknowledges as time out and stops sending data. INTERFACE SELECTION The printer has 3-built in interfaces; the parallel interface and serial interface, and has 1 optional Type-B interface card slot. These interfaces are selected manually by the default setting mode or selected automatically. (However, it is necessary to set these settings within the maintenance mode level 1 of the panel operation.)
T
Manual Selection: One of three interfaces can be selected by the default setting mode.

Automatic Selection: The automatic interface selection is enabled by the default setting mode. In this automatic interface selection mode, the printer is initialized to the idle state scanning which interface receives data when it is powered on. Then the interface that receives data first is selected. When the host stops data transfer and the printer is in the stand-by state for the seconds, the printer is returned to the idle state. As long as the host sends data or the printer interface is busy state, the selected interface is let as it is.
Following explains conditions of other interfaces when a particular interface is selected.
T T T T T
When the parallel interface is not selected, the interface gets into BUSY state. At this time, LH signal is set to "L". That means blocking power supply and no responds from 1284. Therefore, it is necessary for the host, which requires Reverse transfer, to check LH state. When the serial interface is not selected, the interface sets the DTR signal MARK. When the optional interface is not selected, Off-Line bit is set to Main Status Register(MNSTS). When the printer is initialized or returned to the idle state, Parallel interface becomes the ready condition and DTR of serial interface becomes SPACE(Low) condition and reset off-line bit of Main Status Register(MNSTS)to, option interface. /INIT signal on the parallel interface is not effective while that interface is not selected or nibble Mode, ECP Mode.

ERROR CONDITION Stylus Pro5000 goes to error condition when it falls to the following conditions. Out of Centronics interface signals, BUSY signal is set High and /ERROR signal is set LOW. Then, the printer goes to unprintable state, stopping data input from outside. Once the error happens, the printer can go back to the standby position or ready status for printing again by removing the error causes.
Chapter1 Product Description
Y Y Y
Paper out sensor When there is no paper in the paper tray, or paper tray itself is not installed, this sensor detects and goes paper out error. Paper loading miss: When printer fails to load a sheet or PE sensor does not detect the paper on the path, it goes paper out error. Paper Jam Error Even when the paper feeding is performed at the power on, if the PE sensor detects the paper on the paper path or fails to eject a paper by FF command or Eject button, the printer considers it as paper jam and goes to the error condition. In the Stylus Pro5000, the linear encoder monitors detection of paper jam in the carriage running range. No ink-cartridge When the printer detects that ink cartridge comes off or is not installed, it goes to the error condition. Maintenance Request When the total quantity of ink wasted through the cleanings and flushing reaches to the limit, printer indicates this error and stops. The absorber(waste ink pad) in the printer enclosure is needed to be replaced with new one by a service person. This error does not recover until the waste ink pad is replaced and "0" is written to the particular address in the EEPRON by a service man. Fatal Errors When fatal errors such as carriage control error or CG access error are detected, the printer goes to error condition and stops. Repair service is required for this error.
Y
Ink near end and Ink out Error When the printer runs out the most part of the ink of any one color, it warns ink-low and keeps printing. When the printer runs out the whole ink of any one color, it stops printing and indicates ink-out error. User is requested to install a new ink-cartridge in this state. A ink-cartridge once taken out should never be used again. Reinstallation of the cartridge not filled fully upsets the ink level detection and may cause a serious problem in the print head as a result.
Y Y
CAUTION Although there is no worry of bubble invasion by
pulling out or installing the ink cartridge, it is necessary to pay attention to the following points. 1)If the ink cartridge is once removed and installed again in the condition that the ink out(end) sensor detects the ink is still in, ink consumption based on the previous ink life will be kept counting. 2)If the ink cartridge is once removed and the ink cartridge whose left ink quantity is little is installed again in the condition that the ink is still in, Stylus Pro5000 goes to the ink out error condition, even though there is still enough ink in it.

Note) Maintenance Error occurs at the point either A or B becomes full counter condition. In other words, it occurs when A becomes 46650, or B becomes 47200. Since the value is indicated by HEX indication, it is recommended to use the exclusive program to check the counter value. By referring to the printing pattern on the previous page, it becomes possible to check ink discharge conditions (or dot missing or alignment failure) from all nozzles in each color. As an example, refer to "A" "D" lines shown on the black nozzle pattern. "A" line is printed by black nozzle #1 to #16, "B" line is by #17 to #32, "C" line is by #33 to #48, and "D" is #49 to #64. Since the nozzle for different colors is also aligned in the same way, you can consider in the same way.

Manual feed slots paper thickness - Auto mode The setting for Manual feed thick paper and auto mode is the function only to deal with using manual feed slots(front/rear). After checking the result of the printing by the manual feeding, this function becomes effective when the printing is blurry or faint. The reason why there is this kind of function only for manual feeding is that the printer can not recognize the paper thickness, unlike the other paper feed cassettes. There is no influence on the other paper feeding path(or standard cassette or optional cassette), when this function becomes effective. Also, unless this function is set effective, manual paper feeding always make PG(platen gap) big or wider and perform printing. Following shows conditions when the PG becomes wider(big). Table 1-20.
