EPSON Stylus Pro 9000

4.4 Maintenance Procedures

To keep the printhead clean and maintain print quality, the printer
periodically flushes ink through the printhead, and the flushed ink
drains into one of two Waste Ink Boxes. Once a predetermined
amount of ink has drained into the Waste Ink Boxes, the printer
displays the service call error—"00000100."
When the service call error occurs, you need to replace the following parts:

the Waste Ink Pads in the left and right Waste Ink Boxes

the Flushing Boxes (right and left)

the Pump Assembly

the Capping Assembly

the Head Cleaner Blade
In addition to replacing these parts, you also need to do the following:

perform the Cutter Position Adjustment after reinstalling the Lower Paper
Guide, as described in Cutter Position Adjustment

reset the waste ink counter ("Init. Waste Ink") as described in
Mode 2 on page 17

reset the cleaning unit counter ("Init. Cleaning Unit") as described in
