Epson SureColor SC-S80600

Connect and set up the Epson SC-S80600: direct driver, media, loaded media, common trouble.

#What the RIP does

It renders the plates, separates them over the 9 inks (light and dark pairs, ink limit), screens them and sends the print itself (direct driver, ESC/P2).

#Connect

Network cable, fixed IP.

#In the RIP

SNMP (media width) = the Epson's IP (width and number of the loaded media, inks, alerts), also in EKO_RIP_EPSON_SNMP for the loaded media screen; Print origin X / Y set on a paper test; Speed (m²/h) measured in the workshop; media catalogue and modes (System > Epson media), with the media number stored in the printer.

#On the Epson

Store each media under a number and copy that number into the RIP's catalogue; it is what makes the loaded media recognised.

#Check

nc -vz <ip> 9100 from the server; System > Media loaded in the Epson should show the roll width, the roll left and the inks.

#Common trouble

• "Cannot send to the printer": a spot colour has no ink on the Epson (rename it White or Metallic, convert it to CMYK, or add it to the spot colour table), or the page has both white and silver. White and silver do not go through the direct driver yet: use a Folder machine meanwhile.
• "The printer reports an alert: printing stopped": blocking alert read over SNMP (cover open…). Clear it, then Redo.
• Output waiting "Other media": the loaded media is not the job's; load the right one, or pick the loaded media by hand.
• No media width: SNMP address, Epson on and on the same network, community (EKO_RIP_EPSON_COMMUNAUTE, public by default).
