ink-jet printer - power up problems - getting past them

2006-05-13 by lcdpublishing

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!
