Welcome to this comprehensive guide on the updated printhead cover for the Epson XP-15000. We at BCH Technologies are excited to introduce you to the second version of our printhead cover, designed to optimize your printer's performance and extend its lifespan. This article will walk you through the installation process, providing a clear, step-by-step explanation.

Note: A demonstration video detailing the entire process is available at the end of this blog post.

2. The Advantages of Version Two

The second version of our printhead cover boasts an array of improvements over its predecessor. The top cover box on the first version made the installation slightly tricky and sometimes affected the printer's calibration range. The updated design mitigates these issues, allowing for easier installation and preserving your printer's calibration.

3. Preparing for Installation

Before we dive into the installation process, it's essential to prepare your Epson XP-15000. Start by removing the duplex and the paper tray. Using a flathead screwdriver - a rare tool in the Epson maintenance toolkit - gently lift and remove the panel. Then, unscrew and remove the long panel on each side, which will reveal two more screws. Remove these as well and take off the cover. This process should be replicated on both the left and right sides of your printer.

4. Proceeding with Installation

With your printer prepared, it's time to move on to the printhead cover installation. Start by unlocking the printer carriage, either by turning the power on and off again or manually pushing the gear counterclockwise using a screwdriver. This trick helps unlock the printhead without power. Then, remove all the cartridges and unscrew the assembly. Place a piece of plastic bag over the printhead to protect it, then remove the screws and carefully lift the assembly without forcing it.

5. Installing the Updated Printhead Cover

This is where the updated printhead cover from BCH Technologies comes into play. To install it, remove the screws underneath the assembly, then carefully lift it from the middle to avoid breaking it. Slide in the new printhead cover, ensuring it's installed tightly. Any gap could necessitate realignment and calibration of your printer. After installation, ensure the cover locks securely into place. For clarity, you can remove and reinstall it again for a clearer picture of the process.

6. Final Steps and Troubleshooting

The final step involves sealing the printhead and the cables with a silicon seal. Make sure all sides are sealed to prevent any water or ink from getting in. After the installation, if your printer isn't printing or is producing weird colors, you might need to do some troubleshooting. This could involve adjusting the printhead cable, performing a head cleaning, or realigning the printer.

Wrapping Up

Now that you've successfully installed the updated printhead cover, you can compare the printouts before and after the installation. You'll likely notice significant improvements, testifying to the effectiveness of the second version of the printhead cover from BCH Technologies.
