If necessary switch power on, wait for the printheads to move to the home position, and then switch power off. 2) Before transporting the printer, remove the ink cartridges and turn the ink valves screws to the closed position. Also make sure the printheads are in the home, capped, position. After transporting the printer, install new ink cartridges. 3) If the temperature drops below -15°C (5°F), the ink in the cartridges and printheads freezes.

1.2.6 Preventing Data Transfer Time-Outs
Generally, hosts abandon data transfer to peripherals when a peripheral is in the busy state for dozens of seconds continuously. To prevent hosts from entering this kind of time-out period, the printer slows down the data reception rate to about one byte per second when there is less than 4kb of free space in the printer buffer. Data reception comes to a complete stop if the free space is less than 32 bytes, but returns to one byte per second when free space reaches 1KB or more.
Product Description
Interfaces
30
EPSON Stylus Pro 7000
Revision B
Interface status and selection When the option interface is selected, the parallel/USB interface goes into the busy state. The LH signal is "L" at this time. "L" means the power is cut, in other words 1284 does not respond. Therefore, the LH check is required via the Reverse channel. The USB interface responds NACK and cannot receive data. The the option interface is not selected, an off-line bit is set to Main Status Register (MNSTS). When the printer initializes or returns to the idle state, the USB interface is out of the NACK condition and resets the off-line bit of the Main Status Register to option interface. Be aware that an interrupt signal such as the -INIT signal only takes effect on the parallel interface when the parallel interface is selected. When the printer is initialized or returns to an idle state, the parallel interface enters a ready condition, the serial DTR signal is set to low, and the off-line bit of the Main Status Register (MNSTS) is reset. The /INIT signal on the parallel interface is not active while that interface is in Nibble or ECP Mode, or is not selected.
1.2.7 Interface Selection
The SP 7000 has one slot for an optional Type-B interface and two built-in interfaces; the USB and parallel interfaces. The printer has only two internal BUS lines for the interfaces, so the parallel and USB interfaces share one line while the other line is exclusive to the Type-B interface. The USB interface takes priority when both interfaces are connected meaning the USB interface works but the parallel does not. Make sure nothing is connected to the USB interface before printing via the parallel interface. The parallel or USB interface can operate normally even if an optional Type-B interface is installed and connected. The interface in use can be selected automatically or manually. Manual selection The interface can be manually determined using the Printer Setting Menu; see SelecType in the user's guide for details. The choices are INTERFACE = PARA/USB or INTERFACE = OPTION. Automatic selection If the interface setting is set to "AUTO" (default), the printer scans the interfaces for incoming data. The interface that receives data first is selected. As long as the host sends data or the printer interface is in the busy state, the interface selection does not change. When the host stops transferring data and the printer is in the stand-by state for a certain period of time, the printer returns to the idle state.

CUTTER SPECIFICATIONS
Attributes: Consumable item that is replaced by the user, and it is made of very hard steel, so the blade can be chipped. Handle carefully to avoid cuts to yourself and to avoid chipping the blade. The cutter can cut well over 2,000 sheets of paper, but the actual wear-and-tear depends on the type and thickness of the paper used. The cutter life can be determined manually; attempt to cut a piece of normal paper and if the cutter easily cuts the paper, it is OK. Unlike the cutter position with the EPSON Stylus Pro 9000, the SP 7000 cutter position is automatically determined by the carriage cover position. No adjustment is needed for the cutter position or the carriage cover height.
