red ink light on epson r210
I have an epson r210 with a continuous ink system. I had a large print run,
when the red ink light came on and the software showed a cartridge needed replacing. As my epson has CIS fitted it didnt run out of ink. The printer has chipped carts so when I turn the printer off then back on again, it shows the cart to be full again. I tried this and the red ink light stayed on, I tried this numerous times and have also lifted the cart up and replaced it firmly down making sure it is positioned properly and the red light still stays on. tia, grant. |

Hi, Is the red light blinking or solid? Are you able to go to the ink status monitor and note what the software is indicating about the ink level in each cartridge? It's possible that one of the chips is 'failing' partially and that's why the red light comes on. If the light is solid and you are still able to print then my guess here is that something has gone amiss with a cb on the printer rather than a chip on the cartridge. On the Epson 740 there was a button combination that could be applied to bring the electronics back to factory specs if red lights were blaring and the printer was printing garbage. It was called a 'master EPROM reset'. That might be the answer if the R210 also has such a scheme. If no one else comes up with a viable solution I'd get in touch with the folks you purchased the CIS and they may be able to give you the right answer. -- Jan Alter or |
