 | Epson Waste Reset Utility by Graham Cawsey (2/6/04 3:06 AM) reply | + / - | Where can I download this SSC utility I have read about on here?
I have an Epson 830U.
Would this util reset the cartridges to think they are full after they have been depleted?
I ask coz with my Epson680, if I take the chip out and put it into a programmer to reset it I still get about another 40 pages of printouts even tho epson originally informed me the cartridge was empty.

| Re: Epson Waste Reset Utility by John H (8/19/04 10:18 PM) reply | + / - | Thanks Guys,My problem is with a C20 Epson & the fatal error only appeared after I tried to use the sscserve resetting program, so I have inadvertently affected the EPROM program somehow rather than having a mechanical problem. The C20 only has 2 buttons, on/off & maintenance. Is there a reset pattern for this? Is it just a matter of using the EPROM setting feature in sscserve or will that only get me in deeper?

| Re: Epson Waste Reset Utility by Denny Conway (8/20/04 9:35 AM) reply | + / - | John: To my knowledge, there is no Reset Procedure for a FATAL ERROR CONDITION on an Epson Printer. A fatal error is usually caused by either a service related problem that requires some cleaning, servicing and possibly lubrication, or an actual Hardware/Parts Failure. I'm sorry, but just as it sounds, that is the worse possible error on your printer. My guess is that your printer was probably already dirty and in need of some servicing and thats why the first problem occured [Waste Ink Pad Error Condition]. For some strange reason, one problem [even a paper jam, or sometimes simply replacing ink cartridges], seems to be enough to trigger other conditions that were already pending or close to occuring anyway. You may need to try and locate a Service Manual on-line, that you could download for in-depth troubleshooting, disassembly and servicing, if you want to try and locate your possible problem. There are approximatly 10 different things that can cause a FATAL ERROR on most Epson Printers and most of them involve HARDWARE PROBLEMS [bad/defective/failing electrical parts] in the "carriage assembly" or "paper feed assembly". You would normally know if you have been having any paper feed problems [jams, misfeeds, crooked feeding copies, etc]. You would also normally know if your printer was having any unusual or strange GRINDING NOISES or RATCHETING NOISES, that may indicate a DIRTY or DRY CARRIAGE ASSEMBLY. If your not sure about possible carriage problems, or just to eliminate that area, you might want to clean and lubricate that assembly. You need to eliminate possible problems and the carriage assembly is one of the biggest and most common problem areas, that cause that Fatal Error Condition. I will e-mail you some additional information on cleaning that carriage assembly, just in case you want to do it...Good Luck! Denny Conway...P.S. I have not checked, but you can normally find Service Manuals for most printers, at www.2manuals.com (most Service Manuals can usually be downloaded for around $10 /- ), or from http://www.sm.copyprofi.net/index.htm [check prices of available Service Manuals].

| Re: Epson Waste Reset Utility by Wes (9/2/04 11:54 PM) reply | + / - | The print head is clogged. Try running the print head utility a few times. Clean the print heads by performing a head cleaning followed by printing a nozzle check pattern. A head cleaning and nozzle check pattern must be performed as a cycle. After printing a nozzle check pattern, examine the printed dot pattern. Each staggered horizontal and straight vertical line should be complete, with no gaps in the dot pattern. If there are gaps in the dot pattern, continue with another cycle. Perform up to 3 cycles if necessary.
If that does not help then you can buy the print head cleaning kit from this site http://www.fixyourownprinter.com/kea0.html and if you want to see what is involved in cleaning the print head using the kit this link will help http://inkjetprinterhelp.us/printhead.html If you would like to find out one reason why the print head clogged after changing the ink cartridge read this link http://inkjetprinterhelp.us/why.html if you want to really test the print output try printing the page from this link http://inkjetprinterhelp.us/Color.html

After setting this you again right click on the icon and select "Protection Counter" --- "Show Current Value" to see the current count and the maximum limit allowed. If it needs resetting the 2 numbers will be very closely or exactly the same. To reset go back into the "Protection Counter" ---- "Reset Protection Counter".

Though the instructions are worded a bit stilted, it's easy to use, and if you experiment, you'll find how to do it.
We reset our cartridges often, and do dozens a month.
So, we cannot agree with wolfytom's conclusion, but your mileage may vary.
SSC has saved us much $$$!

| Re: Epson Waste Reset Utility by kosteldave (5/5/07 8:48 AM) reply | + / - | Help! I went through the process of washing out my waste ink pads on my Epson Stylus 880.
After reassembly I used the SSC program to reset the protection counter. It responded as described by some of you fellows, indicating that it was reset.
Then the on/off light continued to blink and also the paper light. Both ink lights were on and stationary.
Now the printer does not respond, except that when I turn on the printer, the ink carriage moves very slowly to the opposite end, then returns to its stored position very quickly
Looking for help, I found this latter condition indicated a paper scrap stuck somewhere. I can't find what may be causing the problem-----can't locate a paper scrap or other obstacle.
What should my next step be? Dismantle again? I felt lucky to get my Epson 880 back together.
Could the problem be in my carriage assembly?
I'm not in a position to take the printer to a repair shop.

| Re: Epson Waste Reset Utility by Anonymous (5/5/07 10:00 AM) reply | + / - | Remedies for Fatal Error
A fatal error is basically caused by any of the following conditions:
-The printer does not detect the carriage in the home position.
-The printer does not detect signals from the linear scale.
-The ASF sensor does not detect the ASF home position.
PROBLEM
When the Printer is
powered on:
• The CR unit
moves in the
capping area.(CR
unit is fixed with
CR lock lever.)
• The CR unit
moves and strikes
the left frame
because it is not
fixed with the CR
lock.
After that, the Panel
LED indicates the
Fatal Error.
FIX
Check the CR Encorder sensor board visually.
• In case the CR Encorder sensor board is not
mounted in the sensor mounting position, mount it
in the CR mounted position securely.
• In case the CR Encorder FFC is disconnected
from the connector on the CR Encorder sensor
board, connect it securely.
Also check that the sensor is free from
dust and paper debris.

| Re: Epson Waste Reset Utility by kosteldave (5/6/07 10:13 AM) reply | + / - | Wow, Inkinawink! That was impressive. However, I wish I could understand your suggestions, and put them into use.
The CR, I take is the movable ink carriage. I don't know what or where the "capping area" is or where or what the "locking lever" is. But it seems that I need to find a way to get the CR to lock.
I'm assuming that the "CR encorder sensor board" is the key to the problem. Can you tell me where to find it and what it looks like, and further, how to recognize the integrity of mounting position when I do locate it?
A similar question applies to the "CR Encorder FFC" connection to the "Encorder Sensor Board".
I feel confident that I will recognize debris when I locate the parts you suggest are malfunctioning.
I suppose a manual including pictures for my Epson 880 would be a help. But I don't have one. When attempting to download one from advice from fixyourownprinter, I get a blank screen.
You sound like you can help me, but I need more specific instructions. Can you do that, or lead me to a place that will.
Thanks, Dave

| Re: Epson Waste Reset Utility by moe (5/6/07 11:11 AM) reply | + / - | Looks like it was taken directly out of the Epson Service Manual, except for the repetitive misspelling of "encoder". I certainly wasn't impressed. Looks like gibberish to a novice. The encoder is a device that determines the position of the CR or the cartridge holder assembly. It does it through the use of a plastic encoder strip with lines on it that runs the length of the printer. The encoder board has some electronics on it and an optical sensor, composed of an LED and a photocell. The LED shines through the encoder strip. The photocell counts the lines as they pass by and thus determines where the assembly is and instructs it when and where to print. The capping area is on top of the service station to the right of the printer. That is the cartridge park position where the heads are cleaned and "capped" so the ink doesn't dry out and clog.
|
| Re: Epson Waste Reset Utility by kosteldave (5/6/07 6:56 PM) reply | + / - | Thanks Moe. I think I have identified the encoder strip as the clear, gray, 1/4" plastic strip that passes through the carriage as it moves from left to right. That strip appears to be intact and mounted securely.
In looking around the ink pad assembly I do not see anything electronic, so I'm assuming the encoder board and sensor are part of the Carriage assembly. How do I access it to determine if it's dirty?
Or, where else might I look?
Thanks again, Dave

| Re: Epson Waste Reset Utility by moe (5/7/07 12:17 PM) reply | + / - | When I respond to questions, I try do it from the point of view that the poster doesn't know the difference between an inkjet and a laser, which most don't.
I realize tigerwan was trying to help, but service manuals are not written from practical field experience, they are purely theory. This makes them mostly useless. Considering the misspellings, it was probably written by an English speaking person in Japan. I've seen misspellings in HP manuals as well, photos printed backwards, and all kinds of other mistakes. This is why I don't use service manuals. Instead of helping, they usually make the repair take twice as long.
|
| Re: Epson Waste Reset Utility by kosteldave (5/8/07 10:32 AM) reply | + / - | Thanks for your comments, Moe. I grasp your frustration with manuals. However, I have neither a manual or the practical knowledge it takes to make my 880 printer viable.
If you could respond to my question about the location and access to my 880's encoder, I would appreciate it.
Another Question, I bought this used Epson 880 because I was having trouble with my Epson stylus 740. Having used the 740, and liking it for several years, I wanted to continue with Epson machines. Another reason is that available ink is cheaper.
I recently moved from a humid climate, where I never had problems with the ink pad drying out, to a very dry climate. Now, If I don't use my 740 every day, my black ink stops flowing. The cleaning of the print head works most of the time, other times not. Then I go through the process of wetting the ink pad with windex, and that usually works. Right now however, with a recently installed new black cartridge, I am not able to get the ink flowing. My color cartridge seems to do ok. Do you know what may be going on that my black ink is so stubborn?
And perhaps a dumb question: Why is it wrong to remove a cartrige from the CR and then place it back in? I would like to try cleaning under the cartridge. If I do, must I replace the nearly full black cartridge with a new one?
I really appreciate your help.
A printer novice, Dave

| Re: Re: Epson Waste Reset Utility by WaveGuide (edited 5/13/07 4:34 PM) reply | + / - | Hello kosteldave
I'm familiar with the encoder set up on the C86, which from Moe's description suggests it's common to most (all?) Epsons. The encoder strip (which you have identified as the thin plastic ribbon with thousands of vertical lines on it) passes through a thin slot at the top rear of the ink carriage. This slot locates the encoder strip in the correct position for the 'reader' to count the lines on the strip as the carriage zips back and forth. Thus the encoder electronics are by the slot on the carriage. I'm not familiar with the internals of the encoder unit, but you must slide out the strip before working on it. Remove the encoder strip by first releasing its tension spring at the left end. Then unhook it from the metal retaining tang at the right end. The left end is still retained by a slot and hook, which requires a 90 degree turn of the strip. Do this by first pulling the strip through the carriage slot to the left side. Using tweezers, you can then manouvre the strip off the retainer hook at the left end. You'll probably have to remove or at least displace the carriage to get into the encoder itself. Releasing the carriage from the chassis guides might be complicated. On the C86, you must release two lugs/snap fasteners each side of the carriage body. When that's done, the carriage splits into two sections horizontally. This separation opens the guide system enough to lift the carriage off the chassis. Yours may differ in the detail.
As to removing carts to work on the print head, I do it all the time. Mainly to reset the chips after the SSC Utility finally zeros them. Anyway, the reason people say not to do it is you lose hydraulic lock between the ink in the cart and the ink feed system in the head. Personally, I've never found this a problem to overcome. After working on the head, replace the cart and run as many cleaning cycles as required to suck out the air in the lines. It's a slow job, but a darned sight better than fitting new carts every time. The reason new carts work so well is the complete absence of any air within them. They are packed under vacuum, so peeling off the strip to vent them through the top ensures a bubble-free flow straight away. And it's a good money spinner for Epson. But if you take my advice you won't use Epson Durabrites anyway. They are the surefire way to blockages.

I have an epson stylus photo r230 printer and the ink error just came out. I have used ssc but the red light on the ink out button won't go away. I have used this on two r230 printers.
I would appreciate some help.
Thanks guys :)

| Re: Re: Epson Waste Reset Utility by WaveGuide (7/27/07 1:49 PM) reply | + / - | SSC Utility doesn't stop the ink running out. Once the ink out light shows, you have to do something about it. Like change the cart or reset the chip. The printer should tell you which cart to check.

I have an Epson Stylus Photo RX425 printer, where all the lights are blinking, indicating that the ink waste pads have to be replaced, which I did. I used the SSC service utility program to reset the counter, without success. The RX425 is not listed in the configuration setup, so I used the unsupported model. Even so it said that the counter is reset, the lights are still blinking, and the printer is not working .
Can anybody help me?
Thanks

| Re: Epson Waste Reset Utility by wave100 (9/14/07 7:53 PM) reply | + / - | Yup, i'm quite sure it's the waste ink pad. but alternatively there's a chance that u dont have to change it yet, you only need to reset the waste ink counter. In doing so...u need a program such as the one i've posted prior to your message.

two red lights blinking??? alternate blinking or at the same time blinking fast? if the two red lights blinking alternately the error is reset the protection counter. but if the error is two red blinking at the same time with a fast bit... the error is about your sensored and or the motor'..

Does anyone know how to solve this problem?! PLEASE

| Re: Epson Waste Reset Utility by ellieevans (10/8/07 3:39 PM) reply | + / - | I was encouraged to learn there's hope for my Epson Stylus C62, which was printing perfectly up until the "Service Required" message popped up. I understand this was due to the setting related to the projected number of start-ups/head cleanings anticipated to fill the waste pad, and that the counter can be reset using the SSC Service Utility.
When I went to the site to download the software, I saw that it was for Windows only. Does comparable software exist for Mac users?
Thanks so much,

| Re: Re: Epson Waste Reset Utility by Anonymous (10/14/07 8:05 AM) reply | + / - | I just reset the ink pad counter on my Epson RX425. When you've downloaded the SSC utility, look for the "rx42*" printer option (it's buried in a string of printer types) when you are configuring it for the printer type. Once installed and configured, go to the SSC icon in the system tray (picture of a printer) and right click it. One of the options is for Protection Counter. Chose the reset option (you need to enter "yes" to say you've changed the ink pad) and then switch the printer off and back on again.
Read the Help file in SSC first.
I tried to get to the ink pad but couldn't get the printer case open. Has anyone else been able to get at the ink pad?

if you have downloaded the SSC utility start it and go into configuration
look down the list until you finf R340. Try using this one;
If not scroll to the bottom and find 'unsupported models'
try these either new or old
hope it helps

| Re: Epson Waste Reset Utility by greyke (4/27/08 6:09 AM) reply | + / - | Hi, Hope someone can help. I have an Epson 1290 which has stopped working. When I switch it on it goes through the initial startup then the red light comes on and stays on ( not flashing) The green light is not on. I have read through this thread and tried the SSC program to try to reset the ink counter but it does not fix the problem. I have also tried numerous combinations of holding different buttons when switching on with no success. Can someone tell me what the permanent red light means, and if it can be fixed please.
Note- when I use the SSC utility and try "show current value" under the protection counter menu I get the message "some error occurred" I don't know if this is significant and is an indication that the utility has not installed correctly, but I have tried re-installing with no luck.
Please could someone help!
Thanks

| Re: Epson Waste Reset Utility by Harpo (5/24/08 6:10 AM) reply | + / - | My Epson Stylus Photo RX530 goes through the motions of printing but it got smudgy and then faint and now nothing at all - the paper comes out clean. The user manual is no help at all, and I've been through all the 'Utility' routines umpteen times.
The 'Clean Print Head' results in a number 5 appearing and I can do nothing further until I have pressed the 'Start' button 5 times.. Could all this have something to do with this 'Waste reset Utility' I keep reading about on this site?

| Re: Ink Power Cartridges not working by rpf (6/22/08 4:33 PM) reply | + / - | Was successfully using "Ink Power" brand compatible cartridges for my Epson CX7000F printer without a problem. Ran out of black ink today and when I put in the compatible cartridge the printer does not recognize it and actually says all the cartridges need to be replaced. Message in screen on printer says " Cyan Magenta Yellow Black Ink Cartridge Error. Cartridge Replacement Necessary." When I put in an original Epson cartridge (old and empty) it works but says empty and needs replaced. Tried unplugging and waiting 30 min. but no luck. Any reason why they were working for a while but not now? Any suggestions to get the printer to recognize the other brands chip?
Thanks
