Resetting the epson wf 7110 CISS cartridge. Instructions for resetting the resettable cartridges (refillable cartridges) of the Epson series S, SX, B, BX. What is zeroing

Relevant for Epson S22, SX125, SX130.

1. Press the drop button, the carriage will move to the replacement position;
2. Without removing the cartridge , press the "drop" button again;
3. The carriage will start to run, while the chips will not be reset;
4. When the carriage stops, press the drop button again;
5. The carriage will indicate which cartridge has run out and will move to the replacement position;
6. Pull out this cartridge and put it back;
7. Press the "drop" button, ink pumping will start, after which the cartridges will be recognized!

________________________________________

For printers and MFPs without a drop button.

1. You start the process of replacing cartridges - from a printer or from a computer, while the carriage with cartridges first shows which cartridges to replace, and then it will move to the position of replacing cartridges. To move the carriage, you need to press "next" on the printer or computer;
2. When the print cartridge cradle reaches the replacement position - cartridges do not pull out;
3. The carriage will start to run, while the chips will not be reset;
4. When the carriage stops, repeat step 1 again;
5. The carriage will indicate which cartridge has run out and will move to the replacement position;
6. Take out this cartridge and put it back;
7. Press the "Next" button, ink pumping will start, after which the cartridges will be recognized!

For color cartridges you only need to complete steps 1, 5, 6, 7

Perhaps we have not yet encountered such a situation when the printer brazenly declares that it has run out of ink and flatly refuses to print. Although it is perfectly visible that there is something, and there is still plenty of ink. We want to warn you right away, everything is fine with your printer, and in order to "bring it back to life", you will have to spend less than 3 minutes, perhaps even less than one minute.

But first things first. The reason why the printer refuses to work lies in the software end of the ink - the printer believes that it does not work with a 100 ml CISS, but with small 7 ml cartridges. Therefore, each consumed 7 ml of ink will be perceived by the printer as an empty cartridge and, naturally, will require changing the cartridge - a droplet will blink, a message will be displayed on the PC screen and the screen, if any, of the printer itself.

In order to continue printing, you need to reset the chip. We will tell you in detail how to do this.

1. Move the carriage to the cartridge change position. To do this, press the "drop" button. The sequence of actions: start, stop, OK (if there is a monitor - 1 time), expect to move to the position we need. Press as many times as necessary to move the carriage to the desired position.

2. Hold the tab and press the button that is on the green tab. Hold the pressure for 5 seconds. Six-color printers have 2 tabs, but only one with a button; in 4-color ones - one of the protrusions with wires, the second - with a button.

3. Press the drop button. Sequence of actions: start, stop, OK.

All. After this procedure, the printer will make a little noise, drive the print head to the right and then to the left - and it will calm down. The device recognizes the ink cartridges, and if printing has not been completed, the printer will automatically resume from the point where it stopped.

This is in general terms, but there are also some special cases. So, for example, for TX700-800, РХ700-800, Artisan 700-800MFU and a number of other printers with cartridges located in the cartridge compartment, you just need to open the printer cover and hold down the button.

And some Artisans and Workforce devices require you to remove the latch from the cover open sensor in order for the carriage to be in the replace position. In some special cases, you need to do everything through the printer settings and select the "manual replacement of cartridges" option.

If you did everything right, the printer will not bother you until you use up the same amount of ink. If the procedure did not help, then:

It is necessary to set the carriage again to the position of changing cartridges;
- remove the cartridges from the carriage and put them back in place; there should be a click;
- press the chip reset button again;
- press OK or the button with a drop (depending on the printer model);
- we change the batteries, if any.

And also, if you have a printer from a company

Why reset the cartridge, I think everyone understands \u003d). In order not to go broke on expensive consumables relatives. There are many decent inks on the internet and in the markets right now that are quite competitive. And the fact that the printer will clog up is inevitable. You need to print more or choose something else for yourself, although, from experience, I will say that C42 stylus prints perfectly even after a month of inactivity on Ukrainian ink.

This subject is more relevant for older generation printers, where 3-5 colors were combined into a single body, and the cartridge itself had upper holes that were convenient for filling with a syringe. With the advent of the era of separate colors, it is not necessary to pour ink into standard cartridges (they still flow), it is better to use CISS or refillable blanks, both of which have a self-zeroing auto-chip.

Actually, there are two ways to reset the chip block:

After connecting the contacts of the CHIP with the contacts of the resetter, it automatically detects the model and color of the cartridge and writes the initial readings of the ink level to the CHIP.
After that, the printer recognizes the cartridge as new, which allows you to reuse it after refilling an empty cartridge. This procedure can be performed repeatedly as the ink cartridge runs out.

• special software (look at the bottom right of the "Useful Resources" screen)

The most famous representative is SSC Service Utility. Despite the unpresentable appearance of the site, the program has a fairly wide functionality, of course it works under Windows with both lpt and usb devices.

1) Works directly with CSIC in cartridges epson printers Stylus.
2) Reset and flash any chips using an additional device.
3) Allows you to "freeze" the internal ink counters.
4) Reset internal ink counters (even with empty cartridges).
5) Separate cleaning of color and b / w heads for all models inkjet printers Epson, forced cleaning mode.
6) Support for hot replacement cartridges.
7) Reset the counter of the discharged ink (pampers), even if it is already full.
8) Support over 100 different models Epson printers.

Pros and cons.
In the case of a zeroer, you can always be guaranteed to reset the value of the microcircuit counter - this is a plus. The downside is that not all cartridges can be easily accessed by this small device (like the C42, you need skill), and the reset process itself implies the procedure of removing and installing the cartridge, which, by itself, again consumes the resource of the microcircuit and reduces the duration of worry-free printing. Well, you get the idea ...
It's easier with the program: start it, select the appropriate option (by color or all together), voila, you're done. There is also a minus, not all microcircuits (the same mentioned C42) can be reset (the 895 Photo is good for me), for such chips only the "freeze" function will work (allows you to save and restore certain values \u200b\u200bof the microcircuit). In addition to the latter: "zeroing" software in a working state has been found so far only for Windows operating systems.

There are over 20 million inkjet and laser printers worldwide that use chip cartridges. Most original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) now supply hundreds of printer models, hundreds of cartridge numbers, and a corresponding number of unique OEM chips to the market. And this number continues to grow.

Time goes fast. And today, hardly any of the users of inkjet printers can remember when the first chips appeared on Epson cartridges.

This happened more than 15 years ago, when color cartridges still had a simple design: a plastic container, divided by partitions into three or five compartments for ink of different colors. The compartments were filled with soft foam designed to hold the ink inside the cartridge and deliver it evenly at the speed needed for quality printing, without streaks or blots. Such cartridges could be easily and repeatedly refilled with compatible inks, i.e. fill each compartment with ink of a certain color, and reuse.

But one day, Epson installed chips - small seven-pin chips - on its cartridges to protect against counterfeiting of its products.

The chip is written simple programconsisting of two parts:

1. Greeting.When installed in the printer, the cartridge "gets acquainted" with it and, if the cartridge turns out to be suitable, the further operation of the printer is allowed, if not, you will not be able to print, which will be signaled by blinking indicators on the printer and the corresponding messages on the monitor screen.
2. Count of used ink from this cartridge. When the ink levels of any color reached a certain critical value, printing is blocked and, although the ink levels of other colors have not yet dropped so low, the cartridge had to be replaced with a new one. It turned out that such printing was too expensive.

The chips of each cartridge, each printer model are different, but in any case, their main function is to be an intermediary between the printer and the cartridge, without which the printing device cannot be used for its intended purpose.

Chips are usually installed in a visible place on the cartridge. This is a plus, as they can be easily detected, replaced or reprogrammed.

At the same time, you should be aware that fake chips is an exact copy of the design and information recorded on the chip, which is a violation of intellectual property rights, OEM patents and is punishable by law. However, in accordance with the European Directive on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment, adopted in 2002, printer manufacturers are required to produce printers with recyclable consumables and not prohibit refilling. Thus, refilling the cartridges itself is permitted by law. But how can you overcome the difficulties with chips? There are several solutions to this problem for EPSON chip cartridges.

Zeroing the original chips.

According to original equipment manufacturers, new technologies are also being applied to the benefit of the consumer. Chip cartridges are easier to use. Chips allow you to control the life of the cartridges, informing the user that a cartridge is low on ink. These smart little plates are responsible for quick warning and constant update of cartridge status information. There is no need to store spare cartridges until the chip signals that it is time to add fuel to the printer. At the same time, some users replace the cartridge with a new one, while others refill the used cartridge and restore (zero) the chip using special programmers (in a simple way, "zeroers").

We offer 2 types of programmers:

This programmer is designed to zero the chips of Epson inkjet printers:

• Epson Stylus C41 / C42 / C43 / C44 / C50 / C60 / C61 / C62 / C63 / C64 / C70 / C80 / C82 / C83 / C84
• Epson Stylus Color 680/685/777 / 777i / 880/900/980
• Epson Stylus Photo 780/785/790/810/820/825/830/835/870/875/890/895/900/895/910/915/925/935/950/960/1270/1275/1280/1285/1290 / 2000P / 2100/2200
• Epson Stylus Photo R200 / R300 / RХ500 / RХ600 / R800

The programmers automatically detect the type of cartridge. To restore (reset) the chip, without removing the chip from the cartridge, press it to the contacts of the programmer. During the zeroing process, the programmer LED flashes red, and a green light indicates the end of the process. The printer will now detect the cartridge as new, i.e. the ink consumption count for printing will start again from 100%, regardless of the amount of ink charged.

With the YXD368 programmer, you can zero not only the cartridge chips, but also the maintenance tank of the plotters.

Programmers work flawlessly under the following conditions:

1. The supply battery is not depleted.
2. You have ensured good contact between the chip plates and the programming pins. In case of poor contact, not green, but a red LED light will turn on.
3. The programmer may only be used for its intended purpose.

Using compatible chips.

Compatible product developers also created two types of replacement chips that still exist today. If the design and the program are not copied, this is not a fake of chips, but an alternative product.

Single-use chips (one-step) can only be used once. All compatible cartridges for Epson inkjet printers go on sale with these chips, for example, JetTec cartridges:

On appearance they differ from the original ones, but they do an excellent job - the printer recognizes a compatible cartridge as suitable for printing, although it warns that it is different from the original. One-step chips can be purchased separately and installed in the cartridge when refilled. In some cases, programmers are created for compatible chips. An example is chips and programmers for compatible ink tanks - analogs of HP # 177, which we have on sale.

For refillable cartridges for Epson 7800/9800 plotters, you can use the same programmer as for original cartridges - YXD368.

Reusable chips - auto-reset (auto reset). Such chips do not require the use of any programmers for recovery: empty cartridges are refilled, and ink levels are automatically reset to zero. When the chip counts down the standard for of this type the amount of ink used, the corresponding indicator blinks red to warn you that the ink is low and glows red if the cartridge is empty. In this case, if you are using compatible cartridges with auto-resetting chips, it is enough to simulate replacement of the cartridge - slide the carriage with cartridges to the replacement position and park again.

With the advent of separate ink tanks (separate for each color) and the complication of their internal structure, it has become more and more difficult to refill them with high quality compatible inks. Therefore, new developments of compatible products appeared on the market: refillable cartridges with auto-zeroing chips.

The cartridges are hollow inside, contain no filler and are sold empty - no ink. These same cartridges, connected by thin flexible tubes with ink tanks, form a continuous ink supply system (CISS) designed for high volume printing. When installing compatible cartridges into the printer, the standard “acquaintance” procedure is carried out, and the printer recognizes refillable cartridges or CISS as suitable for use.

Combined system.

But everything would have been so easy if it hadn't been ... so complicated. Due to the large number of fakes on the market, as well as the growing popularity of compatible suppliesOEMs are making more and more efforts to protect their interests. Therefore, the latest line of Epson printers, namely the Epson Stylus C79 / C91 and Epson Stylus Photo R270 / R290, have cartridges with new generation chips. These are no longer 7- but 9-pin chips.

But this is not the main thing. The manufacturer periodically makes changes to the software of these printers, so that compatible chips that work with printers released, for example, in March 2007, become inoperative if you try to apply them to printers of the same model released in the fall of that year. At the same time, original chip cartridges are printable regardless of the date of their production. This is difficult for many users to understand. And the secret is that initially, already in the very first released cartridges for R270, changes were made in the program of their chips, but they were activated in turn, as printers with next update software. This happens directly during the installation of cartridges in the printer and the exchange of information between them. The compatible chips had a built-in program similar to the current working version... Therefore, manufacturers of compatible products suffered losses due to unsold chips, refillable cartridges and CISS. As a result, complex CISS were created, providing for the use of one original cartridge, moreover, not participating in printing - they began to fight the manufacturer with his own weapon.

To activate newest update programs built into a newly released printer, this original cartridge must be a representative of the set already installed in the printer. It is assumed that the presence of the original cartridge in the CISS design will help protect against failures during subsequent software updates, which can be activated at any time in any way, but unknown to us: both when installing cartridges in the printer and at the time specified by the manufacturer, for example , on a specific day, or after a certain amount used sets of original cartridges, or replacement of the absorbent pad, etc.

In any case, from the above, one truth can be clearly traced: the industry of production of compatible products is working quite successfully and adequately competes with OEMs, offering users alternative products.

Many users of Epson printers are faced with a situation where the printer stops printing the started page and stops working, requiring to replace the cartridge. Considering that there can be more than four cartridges, and ink is consumed unevenly in them, such messages can arrive in a chaotic manner on the monitor screen.

The situation can be corrected by a continuous ink supply system. However, the printer may continue to report that ink has run out while the ink tanks are still full. Experienced users know the printer is fine. Those who have recently installed the CISS system are completely bewildered. In fact, everything is in perfect order with the printer and the ink supply system. In order to continue working, you only need to spend a few minutes if you know how to zero the ink level.

Why does the printer warn of low ink when the cartridges are full enough?

The reason for this behavior of the printer is quite understandable. The printer may not realize that it has a continuous ink supply system, continuing to "think" that it uses small cartridges with a volume not exceeding 7 ml for work. That is why, as soon as you use up 7 ml of ink for printing, the printer notifies you of the complete end of ink, requiring you to replace the cartridge. In this case, accordingly, the “droplet” indicator on the instrument panel will light up, and a reminder message will be displayed on the computer monitor.

Resetting Ink Levels on Epson Printers

How do I clear the ink counters and continue with my Epson printer? Here is one of the simplest methods suggested by experts to zero ink in a short time.

If printers with built-in CISS run out of ink counter, do not despair: there are several proven ways to zero the levels. For the first software The L-series needed to enter the reset codes that were on the original ink cans into the printer's print control program. Now you can find the codes you need on the Internet.

On devices without a screen, a drop indicator on the control panel lights up when the ink is low.

In order to reset the level, simply press the print cancel button. You can also use useful program Print Help... Having installed it on your computer, in addition to resetting, you can see the remaining ink, and also reset the working counter. In order to do this you need to purchase a special key.

Before resetting the counters, be sure to add ink to the donor tanks to avoid airborne airflow and damage to the printhead. The printer will be ready for use in just a few seconds. In this case, printing will resume from the point of stopping, which will avoid waste during work.

The described algorithm is applicable to the absolute majority of Epson printers. The printer will continue to operate until the next 7 ml of ink is used up. You can then repeat the operation and your printer will print properly again.
