Hi everyone. First of all, a happy new year for you all. I've just bought two Seiko 64s from another printer here in Portugal and as these machines are discontinued, i need the service manual to get some support. Does anyone have this manual (not the user manual, but the service/technical manual)? Is it possible to convert this machine into one HP 9000 ? (by changing the firmware or something else, for example) Best regards
I presume that it's possible to transfer Seiko to HP by changing PBA board together with NVRAM.
But you will have problem with cartridges. You can't put HP cartridge into Seiko (well I'm not 100% sure for this). I know for a fact that you can't mix CS6060 and HP cartridges. There's mechanical reason. On the end of cartridge there is a "hole" in witch small "shaft" enters when you push cartridge in place. If you compare cartridges you will see that HP "hole" is in higher position than CS6060 (Seiko) cartridge meaning that "shaft" that is entering that hole want fit in - preventing you to push cartridge in place...
So if you make Seiko to HP you want have possibility to use HP cartridges.
You will have two options: transfer to 3rd party inks and their bulk systems or disassembling machine and removing those "shafts".
