 | Epson 1520 Color Stylus Error Light Problem by Dennis (11/5/01 5:57 AM) reply | + / - | I need help, I bought one Epson 1520 Color Stylus printer second hand. I replaced the printheads for both color and black, for a while it can work, but recently I'm getting the open cover light and the reset light blinking. If anybody out there could tell me what do these blinking indicates, it would be a great help to me. Thanks.

Not sure of the layout of the buttons anymore.
Write me and tell me what is where. You can
reset it by holding down the three buttons
on the right side of the panel along with
one other button, but can't remember what
other buttons are on the panel. Anyway,
those three with another button held down
and then turn it on. Wait for ALL lights
to turn on, then release all buttons.
Just let me know which other buttons are
on the one besides the three along the
right side.

The switch is great. Occasionally the printer starts getting out of position and sounds like a rock crusher. I have cleaned the photo eye for the head position with no change in operation. The printer is useless at the present time. ????

It has nothing to do with the cover. Often it is simply a matter of lubrication or components in the area of the printhead carriage's home position being not set in their correct position(s). Here's what to try: With the printer unplugged, lightly lubricate the shaft it rides along with very thin oil. Move the printhead carriage left to the middle of the printer and plug in the printer and turn it on. Let the printer go through its initialization. That may fix your problem. Let us know what happens. - Scotty
