CISS Damage on cartridge chips:

Main problems:

1) Ink indicator light is in red, it will not change after reopen

2) It is no use even you reset the chips by chip decoder machine

3) When press print head cleaning button, it is no work.

4) Cancel the printing procedures, light is still in red

5) Reopen the computer, light is keep in red.

Settlement:

1) For Epson printer, when you take out cartridges and re-install, it will result line missing,

you need do cleaning or testing procedures for several times. (Combo chips have a small bottom (white switch), then you don’t need remove out the cartridges. Only you should hold the bottom for 5 second .)
2) If cartridges with chips, please check following cases:

・Not well install ink cartridges

・Not well fix the chips

・Chip pin on the cartridge holder is deformed

・Chips have been damaged

When you well install the cartridges and fix the chips, you can settle first and second case,

but for third case, it result by taking out the cartridge without well fixed chip in rude, you

need ask maintenance person to take out print head, adjust chip pin or change a new one.

For fourth cases, it happens when you use chip decoder to reset the chips, and you can

use another chip decoder to have a try, if no use, you can only change the chips.

Continuous inking system is equipped with permanent chips, you no need to take out the

cartridges for chip decode, so it much reduce the possibility of chip damage.

3) Except use chip decoder to reset chips, there are a lot of software to reset the chips,

but some software will damage the printer, so you can only do this under the instruction of

experienced person.
