If you email me and request the Epson Cleaning Manual, I will send you a
copy. It will probably resolve the issue you are facing. Art email at: e-printerhelp(at)mvps(dot)org (at) = @ (dot) = . Jeff wrote: I have an Epson Stylus CX 5400.

Before you do anything, give Art a email, stating model and the fault,
ask him for his cleaning manual, he will gladly oblige and you will find it's free of charge. His Email is you will find his posts throughout these pages. Davy |

It is reported a relative high percentage of the cleaning pump failure of
this series printers. I assume the pump isn't working correct. -- |

Is it an actual failure of the purge/cleaning pump, or the fact that the
hose to the cleaning station from the cleaning pump becomes detached that is being reported? Art Yianni wrote: It is reported a relative high percentage of the cleaning pump failure of this series printers. I assume the pump isn't working correct. -- |

Should be easy to determine if its the pump, simply lift the top and
see if you can see ink flowing through the plastic waste pipe thats connected to the underside of the docking bay, if you switch on or go through a cleaning cycle the ink should easily be seen flowing in the pipe. If it comes away there will be a good chance of ink spillage on the bottom of the printer, another quick way to see if it came detached (which is a common problem with the C series), get a pencil and see if you pipe is easily moved, if its loose it will easily flop about at the free end. All the pump is is a gear from the paper feed rollor and a rotating disc with a little bump on it like an hammer, since the tube is coiled in a circular mannor, the bump squashes the tube as it rotates in a circular motion causing the ink to be sucked. Art refered to it as a mini milking machine some while back which is a very good description. The pump don't work, the ink is'nt sucked from the heads and it dries up causing clogs, which is pushed back into the nozzles by the wiper blade. Davy |

In my opinion it could happened both.
If I remember correct you sent an image (hose loose from the pad). A user could repair this failure easy, so sending it here it could be help Jeff. -- Yianni -- "Arthur Entlich" wrote in message news:9pCPe.307814$5V4.2742@pd7tw3no...

I am going through he cleaning process and I did reconnect the small supply tube...I now qualify as a heart surgeon. It was not easy reconnecting the tube without taking the printer apart. |
