Resetting Cartridge Chips - Epson 4800 Use Instructions

Refilling Cartridges:
Monitor ink levels in the refillable cartridges and refill any before the ink reaches about 1/2" from the bottom to avoid introducing air into the ink
lines of your printer. Use the necessary steps from the procedure above for refilling cartridges. Always shake the bottles gently before pouring ink
from them and make sure to refill cartridges with the correct ink. Fill each cartridge to the "Max" line (or 1/2" from the top), securely replace the
plug in the ink fill hole, gently shake the cartridge so ink is in suspension, tilt the cartridge forward to ensure the exit channel is filled with ink,
reinsert the cartridge into the printer and lower the cartridge locking lever.

Resetting Cartridge Chips:

The photos below show the chip resetter next to a cartridge chip. Note that the resetter has seven pins and the chip has seven rectangular gold pads.
To reset a chip, you must put each of the seven pins in contact with a gold pad on the chip. To properly align the resetter to the cartridge, flip the
resetter over and onto the cartridge as indicated by the arrow below.
When the resetter is pushed against a chip, make sure the tab on the resetter fits into the slot next to the cartridge chip (see photo below). Slide the
resetter upwards, alongside the cartridge, so that it pushes against the top of the slot in the cartridge, then press the resetter gently against the gold
pads on the chip – the pins on the resetter are spring loaded and will depress slightly when pushed against the chip. As soon as the resetter and chip
have made contact, a red LED will flash several times while the chip is resetting. When the chip has been reset the light will turn solid green. After
seeing the green LED, separate the resetter from the cartridge. Your cartridge chip has now been reset and is ready to use.
NOTE: Chips are fragile, sensitive to electrical shock and can short out. We recommend resetting and reusing them whenever possible, but suggest
having a set of replacement chips on hand if needed. New chips can be attached in place of the old chips by using double sided tape, by following the
procedure in the troubleshooting section. Replacement chips can be purchased thru
