Good news - maybe. The one project that had to get done this weekend
is nearing completion. That means without any more "problems", I
should be able to work on my printer some more.
Right now, when I power up the Epson Sylus 850, I get all LEDs
blinking which, according tot he service manuals means a paper jam. I
am sure it is trying to rotate the shaft on the paper feeder where it
is looking at a slotted disc/sensor. I also do not have the printer
connected to a computer at this time.
If anyone has any suggestions as to what sequence might be needed on
that sensor, it would be a big help.
Once I get past that step, I should be able to run a PCB through it as
I believe I have made enough clearances everywhere for it to feed
through. Load up some ink and give it a go!
