Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know when the S015610 ribbon cartridge needs replacing on the Epson LQ-690?
Replace the S015610 ribbon when text output becomes light grey or multi-part carbon copies fail to show crisp impressions on the lower pages. Unlike inkjet cartridges, impact ribbons wear down gradually rather than stopping abruptly.
Can I re-ink or manually wind the Epson S015610 ribbon cartridge?
Manual re-inking or rewinding is not recommended as uneven ink application can transfer debris into the printhead assembly, potentially damaging the print pins and causing misaligned characters during high-speed dot matrix printing.
What causes the ribbon fabric to jam or twist inside the LQ-690 ribbon drive mechanism?
Fabric jamming usually occurs when the ribbon guide is improperly seated during installation or if the ribbon path lacks sufficient tension. Ensure the ribbon passes smoothly between the printhead mask and ribbon shield before locking the cartridge down.
