Now the tubes are all attached and inserted into the bottles. Make sure the tubes are
not restricting the motion of the cartridges. Add more slack if they are. When the
printer stops making noise, you are ready to start printing.
Let Ink Begin to Fill Tubes:
13. Run 3 cleaning cycles. Print a couple of copies of purger6.tif, found on the diskette.
The inks should begin to climb up the tubes. They will not all rise at the same rate.
If you have banding or incomplete printing, run 3 more cleaning cycles and nozzle
checks. As soon as you have a good nozzle check, you are ready to start using the
system. As you print, the inks will continue their climb until they reach the
cartridge. Don't worry if the inks seem to be moving slowly, they will all get to the
cartridge eventually. It is not necessary to wait until the inks have filled the tubes.
You can begin printing as soon as you have a good nozzle check.
Understanding the Auto Reset Chips:
14. Your CFS cartridges have Auto Reset chips on them. Each time the printer power is
turned on the chips will reset themselves to full. If you need to reset the ink
levels, simply turn off the printer power, wait 10 seconds, and turn the power back
on. This resets the chips. The actual ink level inside the cartridges is kept full by
the CFS unit. The ink level displayed on your screen by the Epson monitoring
system is not the true ink level inside the cartridges. It is what the monitoring
system and chips are indicating.
Troubleshooting:
Our website, www.inksupply.com, has and excellent section on CFS troubleshooting. If you
are having problems with your CFS, then this is the place to go for assistance. Carefully
read the symptoms of the various problems and determine which solution you need. You
can email or call us for tech support if needed.
Don't let your CFS go for several days without printing. They tend to develop problems if
left idle. Try to make a print each day, or at least once per week. This is especially true if
you live in a hot dry climate. If you are not there to make a print, use our Autoprint
program contained on the MIS diskette. See the Readme file for installation instructions.
If you have missing nozzles, they must be recovered within 24 hours. If you wait to take
corrective action you are putting your printer at risk. Use Epson cartridges to recover
nozzles if our troubleshooting tips do not solve the problem.
Most Common Problem:
The chips on the cartridge must remain in contact with the 7 small fingers in the printer
that touch the chip. If just one of them looses contact, a red light will come on preventing
further printing. When you are pushing the cartridge down into the cartridge holder, it
