Epson Adjustment Program: Sequential Mode vs. Particular Adjustment Explained

Question:
I came across your video about unlocking the Epson Adjustment Program for connecting printers to a virtual machine. I want to better understand: what is the purpose of using sequential mode? What happens if I don't use sequential mode and instead just go with the particular adjustment option?

Answer:

Sequential Mode in the Epson Adjustment Program

Sequential mode is essentially Epson's built-in guided workflow for technicians. It takes you step by step through a set of fixes, replacements, or adjustments in the correct order. For example, it might start with checking sensors, then move on to cleaning cycles, and finally lead you into resetting counters. The goal is to ensure that service procedures are not skipped and that everything is performed systematically. This mode is especially useful for beginners or those following official Epson repair procedures.

Particular Adjustment Mode

Particular adjustment mode, on the other hand, is a direct access tool. It allows you to choose a specific function-like resetting the waste ink counter-without having to go through all the other guided steps. This is often more efficient if you already know what you're doing and only need to perform one specific action.

What Happens If You Skip Sequential Mode

If you choose to ignore sequential mode and go directly to particular adjustment:

• Nothing harmful happens to your printer. You're simply skipping Epson's checklist and moving straight to the targeted function you want to perform.

• Most technicians and experienced users prefer this route, as it saves time and avoids unnecessary steps.

• Sequential mode is mainly helpful if you're unsure of the exact procedure or if you want to follow Epson's official repair flow.

In short, sequential mode is like following the manual one step at a time, while particular adjustment is like jumping straight to the chapter you need.

Addressing printer issues can be complicated due to the hands-on nature of the work. For this reason, we're not able to provide remote troubleshooting, detailed suggestions, or direct support for printer repairs. We do, however, offer an in-person evaluation and repair service (https://bchtechnologies.com/printer-repair-service). Please note that this operates on a first-come, first-served basis, and it may take a few weeks before your printer can be dropped off. We provide both full printer repairs and part-specific services, with clear instructions on how to proceed. That said, our rates may not always be the most economical. This is why we strongly encourage self-help options, starting with our YouTube channel homepage (https://youtube.com/@bchtechnologies). You can use the search tool next to "About" to locate videos by keyword, or let YouTube recommend similar videos from other creators that could also help.
