How to Reset Epson Ink
- 1). Hold the universal ink cartridge chip reset device in one hand. These devices are sold online at ink supply stores and in smaller electronics and computer retail stores.
- 2). Locate the small metal tabs on the ink cartridge chip. These are silver or copper in color and about the size of a dull pencil point. There are seven of these tabs on the Epson model cartridges.
- 3). Line up the metal tabs with the pins on the universal chip resetter. Press the tabs to the pins and hold them together for about five seconds. The red light on top of the universal chip resetter will blink when the tabs and pins connect. Wait until the green light on the universal chip resetter starts to blink. This indicates that the chip on the cartridge is now reset.
- 4). Install the cartridge back in the printer by opening up the printer's access area and pressing the cartridge into the proper slot in the printer cartridge carrier. Close the panel and print as you normally would with the new cartridge.
