best. This chapter describes the following routine procedures:
• Checking printer status and part life
• Checking and cleaning the print head
• Aligning the print head
• Replacing ink cartridges
• Changing the black ink cartridge
• Replacing the paper cutter blade
• Replacing the maintenance tanks
• Cleaning the printer
• Transporting or storing the printer
In addition to the features described in this chapter, you can also use the
menu system on the printer to fine-tune a variety of printer settings.
Alert Lamp
The Epson Stylus Pro 4900 is equipped with an alert lamp which
automatically lights or flashes when an error or warning occurs. You can set
or change the alert lamp settings in maintenance mode. (The default setting
is “Disable”.)
Checking Printer Status and Part Life
Using the menus, you can check the amount of ink remaining, the total
number of prints, and the status of your cutter blade, maintenance tank(s),
and other printer parts. You can either print out a status check (described in
the next section), or you can view the printer’s status on the LCD screen.
