Go Reset

Knowledge is power, here is the knowledge, the formatting is a little messy but it follows okay, ther are TWO distinct steps to resetting the TWO ink counters in aan iP90. Enjoy.

3-3. Adjustment / Settings

(1) Service mode
The basic operations are the same as those of the i70 / PIXUS 50i.
In this section, destination settings, how to reset the waste ink counter, and EEPROM information
printing, which differ from those of the i70 / PIXUS 50i, are detailed.

1) Turn off a printer. While pressing the Resume/Cancel button, press the Power button.
The LED lights green to indicate that functions are selectable.

2) While holding the Power button, release the Resume/Cancel button. (Do not release the Power
button.)

3) While holding the Power button, press the Resume/Cancel button 3 times, and then release the
Power and Resume/Cancel buttons. (Each time the Resume/Cancel button is pressed, the LED
alternately lights in either orange or green, starting with orange.)

4) When the LED lights green, press the Resume/Cancel button as many times as you need, to
select the preferred function. (See the table below.) Each time the Resume/Cancel button is
pressed, the LED alternately lights in either orange or green, starting with orange.
(The color red indicates the changes from the i70 / PIXUS 50i.)

Time(s) LED Function Remarks

0 times Green Power off When the print head is not installed, the carriage
returns and locks in the home position.
1 time Orange Service test print
2 times Green EEPROM information print
3 times Orange EEPROM initialization
4 times Green Waste ink counter resetting Proceed to step 5) below. Once executing step 5), then, move on to step 6) to select the waste ink counter to be reset. (Different from the i70 /
PIXUS 50i.)
5 times Orange Destination settings Proceed to step 5) below. Once executing step 5), then, move on to step 7) to select a
destination. (Different from the i70 / PIXUS 50i.)
10 times Green Return to the menu selection

5) After the function (menu) is selected, press the Power button. The LED lights green, and the
selected function will be performed. (When the operation completes, the printer returns to the
menu selection mode automatically.)


6) Press the Resume/Cancel button the specified number of time(s), then press the Power button.
Time(s) LED Waste ink counter to be reset

0 time Green Main waste ink counter
1 times Orange Platen waste ink counter
2 times Green Main waste ink counter and platen waste ink counter (at the
same time)
Note: When the waste ink counter is reset, print the EEPROM information as shown below,
and confirm that the value of the counter is 0 %.

7) Press the Resume/Cancel button the specified number of time(s) according to the destination
listed in the table below, then press the Power button.
Time(s) LED Destination
1 time Orange Japan: PIXUS iP90
2 times Green Other than Japan (A4): PIXMA iP90
3 times Orange Other than Japan (LTR): PIXMA iP90 (LTR)
Note: After the specific destination is set, print the EEPROM information as shown below, and
confirm the model name.

thx to barney

First thx to BilBg, this is how to Reset Canon MP520 First look at photo:
(red colored numbers 1...4 added by me)

I refill cartridges for inkjet printers for about 12 years (since 1996).
One of my customers found this procedure for resetting the Canon Pixma MP520
by experimenting with different button combinations.

(by his words long (10-15 sec.) pressing of just one (any) button doesn't work -
for many Canon Pixma models pressing the PaperEject, Cancel or OK button for 10 sec.
resets the ink level or ignores it)


Procedure:

a) Switch the printer OFF
b) Press buttons 1 + 2 + 3 and 4 (simultaneously using four fingers)
c) Keep pressing this four buttons for 10 seconds
d) Release the On/Off button (number 4) (Keeping pressing the others)
e) After a few seconds (when the printer go ON) you can release buttons 1, 2, 3

Notes:

1. Maybe step "c)" is not needed
2. This procedure was used when I refilled the Black cartridge -
try using the ColorCopy button instead of BlackCopy button (number 1)
if you refill Color cartridge.
3. Maybe there is no need for all the four buttons -
you can try 1 + 4, 2 + 4 or 3 + 4.
(or 1+2+4, 1+3+4, 2+3+4)

Best wishes from Varna, Bulgaria

A fatal error is basically caused by any of the following conditions: -The printer does not detect the carriage in the home position. -The printer does not detect signals from the linear scale. -The ASF sensor does not detect the ASF home position. PROBLEM When the Printer is powered on:
• The CR unit moves in the capping area.(CR unit is fixed with CR lock lever.)
• The CR unit moves and strikes the left frame because it is not fixed with the CR lock. After that, the Panel LED indicates the Fatal Error. FIX Check the CR Encorder sensor board visually.
 • In case the CR Encorder sensor board is not mounted in the sensor mounting position, mount it in the CR mounted position securely.
• In case the CR Encorder FFC is disconnected from the connector on the CR Encorder sensor board, connect it securely. Also check that the sensor is free from dust and paper debris.

Waste Ink Tube & Bottle?
Epson printer generates waste ink which is directed into absorbent pads in the base of the printer. Eventually waste ink pads will fill up and need to be replaced.

Alternatively, you can install a tube and bottle behind the printer and direct all waste ink into an external waste ink bottle.

The following pictures can give you some more idea. Procedures may vary upon different models.

hi guys if you need resetter for Epson printer download here The maintenance request error is actually a Waste Ink Ink Pad Error and normally 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.

Some people actually wash the ink out of the old pads, by holding them under running cold water, then dry them out and simply 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.
