 | Re: EPSON 580 reset program by Rob (9/24/02 6:12 PM) | +1 + / - | My Epson C40 printer is not under warranty due to the waste ink pads filling up already - even after only 7 months of use. What do I need to do to fix this problem and do I need to reset any of the chips ?
Thanks

 | Re: EPSON 580 reset program by master (9/29/02 5:36 AM) | + / - | Rob, you must start adjustment program for your printer. It will reprogramm printers EEPROM - waste ink counter.
You can get it from www.otd.com.ua

| Re: EPSON 580 reset program by wmsteele (10/22/02 2:51 PM) | + / - | Hi Everyone,
I also have the same waste ink counter problem that needs reset.
Having looked at the website http://www.otd.com.ua I dont want to give out my credit card details to site thats not in the UK.
Has anyone ordered software from this site?

Maybe we can trade? E-Mail me if you are interested... Thanks.

Did you get the reset program or are you still waiting....
If you have it how long did it take? Is it posted or emailed to you? Interested in trading??
Thanks for replying :)

| Re: EPSON 580 reset program by Master (10/23/02 4:29 AM) | + / - | Hi,Guys!
First and formost you've to get Service Manuals - it's ABS for printer repair and using its firmsoftware.
Service Manuals have all answers for all questions.
Best regards, John.

| Re: EPSON 580 reset program by wmsteele (10/23/02 7:56 AM) | + / - | www.epson.tk is not much use to people that live on the other side of the world and don’t want to pass on credit card details to an unknown company for such a nominal amount of only a few $’s
I don’t need a service manual, the printers already been serviced that’s the problem, nice new pads for all that waste ink but no way to reset the dam counter….
Master, I take it from your email address you work for this company? Are Epson aware that its software is being sold for “donations”. Or is this legitimate software, coded by programmers working for www.epson.tk, the web sites lack of clarification makes me doubt this.
Epson are the real monsters here, making a fortune the world over with this little scam. Lots of printers being sent back for repairs that only require a new ink pad and a counter reset, how many Epson’s are believed to be dead because of this, the environment is suffering enough without junking perfectly good printers.

| Re: EPSON 580 reset program by Master (10/24/02 1:01 PM) | + / - | WMSTEELE!
I don't work for EPSON company.
The goal is to help many users to solve problems by themself. For example 480 printer one moment gives a message "Unknown error. Go to service". The EPSON company is NOT HORNEST. They DO KNOW what happened, but they lie! Many users can't print when they need because their printer is blocked, but Epson didn't warn about soon blocking! How do you thin it is? Good?
So, many people thank us for help we suggest.
Do you still neede adjustment program for 580 printer?
|
| Re: EPSON 580 reset program by wmsteele (10/24/02 1:22 PM) | + / - | I know have the adjustment program, thanks to Bastain :)
What a nightmare program, it will not work in WinXP so I had to reinstall an old copy of Win98. Fingers crossed and a little luck it worked but not without a final fight....
The program crashes lots in Win98 so you have to be very carefull with it. DONT GO CLICKING LIKE MAD OR IT WILL DIE and take Win98 with it!!!!
A few reboots of Win98 and it worked :)
Now I just need to reinstall WinXP.
BIG thanks to Bastain for sorting me out ;)

You boot the program for C20-C40 then choose MAINTENANCE then Counter Protected then CLEAR
That's all. You can do it youself, not only at service (for $20-30):-)

| Re: EPSON 580 reset program by mark (11/19/02 4:48 PM) | + / - | got it sorted ta i was trying to download 2 programs at once .tell u what i cant understand why you cant get this proggie from epson i was about ready to buy a new printer.
|
| Re: EPSON 580 reset program by Morfeo / Anibal (11/19/02 9:08 PM) | + / - | Mark, its all about money... here in argentina changing the f*cking pad and reseting the printer eeprom cost about $50.
The question is.. $50 every 3 or 4 months only because epson says that they have a lot of problem about the ink dropped into the mainboard of old printers?.
I dont thinks this is the answer to that problem, there have to be another ways to fix this problem... 3 month after i have buy my epson 580 its stop printing without any reason and i dosnt understand why. Go to service and they give me a new one, but 3 month later... and so on 3 times until my guarantee expire.
I think that the service program have to be free, i have spend about 8 month searching the net to come to this page and a lot of time with my printer in the epson service while i needed it. luckly i havent spend money...
Thats all, everyone enjoy printing! and dont forget to change or wash the pad :oP

I took it apart, cleaned it up, and thought it would work again but it didn't. Now I see that the problem probably is that I need the reset program. Could someone send it to me? I tried the website above, but didn't see it there. Also, is there a place to buy the new replacement pads mentioned above, or should I just clean the old one?
Many thanks. This is a great site!

 | Re: EPSON 580 reset program by roy (12/14/02 4:04 PM) | + / - | is this reset program for the inkjet cartridge reset chip or for the eeprom to reset the printer?
canon has the same problem, which copied who I do not no. BUT tis all the same..I have seen the waste ink pads in the bottom of the printer..its a mess, but it can be done..you can literally wash the pad as best you can..then re-install and reset the printer..the pads are not your normal cotton pad from the local craft shop. these appears to be high intensity soaking pad..but we are getting reset cartridge machine from our wholesale vendor.

| Re: EPSON 580 reset program by kevwiener (12/29/02 7:41 AM) | + / - | if you lift the lid up on the printer you find either 1 or 2 screws take them out there will be one on the back take that out and the shell should come off the pads are on the right hand side of the printer when it is facing you.just rinse them under the hot tap for a while and dry them on the fire and replace them.

| Re: EPSON 580 reset program by John D (1/1/03 7:16 PM) | +1 + / - | All these Epson reset progams, can't you just unplug the printer and then remove memory battery?Then replace battry,Would that not reset to factory specs? That is similar to what we do to reset the CPU RAM in automotive service,. John D.
|
| Re: EPSON 580 reset program by kevwiener (1/2/03 4:39 AM) | + / - | yes but there is still the problem of the waste ink pads, once they get full up they start off all of the problems so its just as easy to either replace them or clean them its only five minutes of a job anyway.i would of thought that it was illegal what epson are doing anyway, as when you ring them they just say they havent got a clue what the problem is and to ring the service centre which they charge you a fortune to fix.

| Re: EPSON 580 reset program by bassie (1/7/03 8:22 AM) | +3 + / - | Hang on you unlucky epson 580 owners, asking for the program the last few days, i will send you the complete program. It is in .arj form : you
need something like winzip or winrar to unpack.
Be-aware: there is a version going around the internet without pictures, and one with them.
I only use the one with pictures.
They say you need windows 98, i did not check if you can use win xp. It worked for me under win 98.
In the program, you have to chose which usb port you use, from which region (world or ESP: for me ESP worked). I first somewhere checked the status of the EEPROM then i did a reset somewhere (do not remember exact details). The i checked again and saw that the numbers were decreased.
After using this program, i removed the printer drivers (because i got another error) and restarted the computer. Then i reinstalled the epson 580 as follows: remove the power cable and usb cable. Run the setup of the drivers until the program says: 'connect cable....': first put in the usb cable, then put in the power cable. The rest should be automatic.
Then it worked for me.

@Phill
I got the same message when i used xp. But i did not have the epson printer connected to the computer (because the printer was not mine: it is on another place). Maybe if you connect the printer to the usb port, try every usb port, maybe it works when you connect to the right one. The program asks you to type in port 1, 2, or 3: on your computer you cannot see which is which.
You could also try the following: in xp you can let the program run under win 98 compatibility mode (right click with mouse on the icon: select 'compatibility mode' under properties)
Cheers,
Bassie

| Re: EPSON 580 reset program by twy (1/10/03 10:30 PM) | + / - | Have a relative in the computer business. Owns his own store and repair shop. He could do nothing with the 580. Even Epson would not help one of it's own dealers/repair depots on this one.
The 580 must be sent into the official Epson repair depot. The reset program will only work up to windows 98 and even than it acts up.
Epson has just found a way to make more money from suckers like us. The faster the printer breaks down the more they make on repairs or selling new printers. I wonder if HP pulls the same tricks?

Took the printer over to friends tonight with Windows ME and ran the program. Bought the computer home and hooked it up to mine (XP) and I have a working computer again. YAH!!! Saves the $150 I was quoted to get it fixed. Thank you everyone that helped.

The black ink cartridge is COMPLETELY empty, I missed the warning) and now it will not let me renew it. I have put in a new black and colout cartridge but it will not recognise it 'cos it hasn't been through the programme. Hope this makes sense and that someone can help please

| Re: EPSON 580 reset program by Philippa Hurst (1/11/03 6:51 PM) | + / - | Tanker,
I took the printer (and cables) and the reset program (on CD) over to a friends house with a computer running ME. Connected the printer, loaded drivers then run the reset program off the CD I burnt it to. Ran a test page, checked it worked then unplugged it all and bought it (the printer)home and plugged it back into my computer (running XP) and tested it again.
and.....it worked :-)
Hope this explains it a bit better.

| EPSON 680's problem - Re: EPSON 580 reset program by Yonathan (1/11/03 7:01 PM) | +1 + / - | Hello, folks..
I have a problem with my EPSON stylus color 680,. the error indication on the indicator panel is as follow, both ink and power on indicators are blinking/flashing,..I guess the waste ink pads filling up already is that true ?
if so, could anyone here help me for getting the software adjustment program for SC680, I have downloaded "SC777_Ver.1.1.exe" but it doesn't work
for me :(,. It seems the program doesn't do anything when I execute its menu choices.
That's all and thank in advance for any help

| Re: EPSON 580 reset program by bassie (1/14/03 5:52 AM) | + / - | For all people that use the reset program:
1) People told me the program works on windows 98 and windows millenium edition. Good to know i think.
2) It is better (my vieuw) first to do the reset with the program and do a test print, and see if it works.I you want, you later might want to clean the ink pads.
I tell you this because before using the reset program (at that time i did not know about the reset program) i opened the printer and did some dismantling. After the reset i removed the error but since than i had problems getting the printing on paper. I think the printerhead is too far away from the paper. No problem because i already had ordered a new epson 580.
In short: only use the reset program.

| Re: EPSON 580 reset program by Halli (1/14/03 9:04 AM) | + / - | Thanx a million:)
I got the printer to work! I did the waste pad cleaning and then ran the restart program, but as Bassie pointed out, I get no printout in black, just color! Seems likely that the printerhead is to far away from the paper.
So try the restart program first...
P.S. Anyone who has an idea how to fix this problem, please drop a line!
Cheers,
Halli
|
| Re: EPSON 580 reset program by bassie (1/14/03 1:06 PM) | + / - | Yes, just use the reset program first.
Don't touch the inside (for now) i would say.
In my case i think the printer head is too far away from the paper. In the case of Halli maybe indeed he has an empty black cartridge or so. Or he must run some cleaning cycles, test, and than maybe let it stand a day or so. Or do a nozzle check and so on, and so forth.
Like you see, first use the reset program and see if everything works!!! Otherwise you might have other problems to solve.

| Re: EPSON 580 reset program by todd (1/14/03 2:52 PM) | + / - | I would be most grateful to anyone that would e-mail me the reset program as well. I can offer in return a great supplier for generic inks if you don't already have one. I recently purchased 6 black and 5 color refills for $15 including shipping for a stylus 600.
Thanks in advance.

| Re: EPSON 580 reset program by Todd (1/14/03 4:14 PM) | + / - | There are a lot of people bashing Epson in this post. Scanning all of the posts shows more people with HP problems. I think the success of HP reliability is because the print head is replaced with every cartridge change but this does not help the miriad of mechanical problems. I priced replacement cartridges for a friend's HP recently and for third party cartridges, it was $35 for 1 black and 1 color plus shipping. Instead I found and bought them a used 600 for less than $25 including shipping. Now they can use the cheaper cartridges I described above in the previous post. I save enough money on third party cartridges to replace my epson but I still have the original 600 I bought years ago back when Computer City was in business. I do use my printer and use it often for heavy photo printing. I have had very few problems with it even using third party ink. If I ever have a problem with either of my 600's, I will simply buy another good working used one for less than the price of HP cartridges alone. I do agree with the others, I believe it was a bad move on epson's part to produce a printer that required such intense and expensive service as the 480 and the 580. Hopefully with the help of some of you out there, I can get the 480 working for another friend also with the reset program. I am also still working on a non-printing 660 but may soon abandon that in favor of another used 600. Good luck to you all.

| Re: EPSON 580 reset program by Denny Conway (2/14/05 2:00 PM) | + / - | Jim: That message is indicating a "Maintenance Request Error", which is actually a Waste Ink Ink Pad Error. Your remedy is to replace the waste ink pad/pads with a new one/ones and then reset the Internal Waste Ink Pad Counter. If you just reset the counter and don't replace the pads, then your printers old pads will eventually overflow and normally start leaking ink out the bottom of your printer. You can see "Exploded Parts Diagrams" of most Epson Ink Jet Printers and can also check on possible parts ordering, by Compass Micro Inc, at http://www.compassmicro.com/parts_select.cfm . Some people actually wash the ink out of the old pads, by holding them under running cold water. Then they simply dry them out and reinstall them back into their printer. The choice on what to actually do, is yours to make. I would at least recommend getting that Waste Ink Counter reset procedure and performing it first, to make sure your printer will then work...THIS ADDITIONAL INFO MIGHT ALSO BE OF SOME HELP: Tim H 12/10/2003 2:46:24 Subject: Epson Reset Program Download Location. after a long search for a reset program for waste ink, without paying, i found it. goto: http://inkjetprinterhelp.us/sscserve.exe . please check that your printer is compatible goto: http://inkjetprinterhelp.us/epsonSSC.html . this program has other features as well...Unfortunatly, that "SSC Service Utility" does not work on all Epson Printers and not on all Operating Systems and sometimes will not even work on actually listed printer models, so you will have to check it out for yourself. Just in case that source does not work: You may actually need to go on-line to try and locate the actual "RESET PROCEDURE", to buy and download for reference in disassembly, troubleshooting and servicing. I have not checked, but you can normally find Reset Procedures for most Epson Printers, from 2manuals.com, at http://www.2manuals.com/index.php?cPath=2_18 . Most reset procedures are usually available for around $10.00 [+/-]...There is an "Epson Stylus C60 Printer Information Page", that also includes the C41 series, that you can view at http://epsonhelp.freehttp.com/C60.html . It does have a section on the left side you can click-on, titled WASTE INK PAD SERVICING and also a section titled HOUSING REMOVAL, that will be of some help to you, if you want to try the needed servicing...Good Luck!
