How to: perform a reset of the ink system

When ink troubleshooting related issues, be it an error of cartridge of ink or the impossibility to print one multiple and certain or colors, one of the first steps to try is a reset of the ink system.  This resets the system of ink in the printer and get rid of all the false errors.  I will outline the steps below.

Perform a reset of the ink system:

  1. While the printer is on, remove all printer ink supplies.  This includes all the cartridges and printheads, if it is removable.
  2. Unplug the printer from the power source while on and no ink in the printer supplies
  3. Get a clean, lint and clean water
  4. Use the cloth and water to wipe the electrical contacts of the cartridges, the contacts inside the printhead for cartridges, the contacts on the back of the printhead that connect to the printer and the contacts in the printer that connect to the print head
  5. Wipe the contacts so that the water is in/on the system
  6. Plug the printer back to the power source, without ink supplies
  7. Insert the print head when the printer turns on and shows the printhead is missing
  8. Insert the print cartridges when the printer indicates that the cartridges are missing.  Do one at a time to ensure that the error is not from one of the cartridges.  The upper part and insert the first cartridge, and then close the top.  The front of the printer should, then, indicate that the remaining colors are missing.  To do this individually with all the cartridges.
  9. Once the print head and cartridges are installed, then the printer will attempt automatic alignment.  Once the alignment is complete, reset/Reset ink system is over.

If the error or problem continues, then move the additional steps in the document troubleshooting for this issue.  This is just the first step to help clear false errors that may be present.

Hope it will be useful for anyone who needs to perform this reset.  Good impression.

  • When perform a reset of the printer

    Hello community,

    There were positions there were people said they have disconnected the printer or he did a partial reset and the printer does not work or do not know what to do and they tried to unplug.  There is a right way and a good time to do this. And this process is a reset.

    1. a reset is not usually the first step to take when you encounter a problem with the printer. Usually, there are there documents that have steps to try the first as searching for debris or re-seats ink cartridges or more steps according to the error message or the symptom that the printer is having troubleshooting.  You do not want to fill these first because some steps are placed in order to fix the process. If a step takes care of the problem, we stop there and not continue troubleshooting.

    (2.) A hard reset is for hardware issues and error messages. They try to put the printer in a known working state, if possible. As a hard shut down on a computer. It is not something we do all the time.  With a hard reset without user settings are lost. This is not the case with all the resets and it is necessary to know the parameters that can be lost when they do a partial reset, is an example of what is lost with a partial reset fax memory is cleared on this machine. It is better to know what will be lost before a reset.

    I just wanted the coverage and warning on some of the elements that come with reset. It is important to know when to do a reset and what may be lost.

    As usual, I hope this helps out! Good impression!

    How to disable the step "ink drying? Whenever I have print something, I have to wait an extra 20 crucial seconds for a step called "ink drying.

    Hello

    While using the Auto print module duplex printing on both sides of the product page must let the ink dry before printing on the other side.

    You can turn it off by going to the screen printing and setting preferences in print on both sides as zero, which should prevent this behavior of duplex printing.

    There are different ways to save the date of the android device.
    You can use some 3rd party backup applications (check the Google game store for available applications), or you can use the internal Android option to save the data, application, Wifi passwords and other settings to google's servers.

    This option can be found in Apps App-> settings-> & backup restore

  • How to check & fix "structure of the file system is corrupt" on Vista

    When I restarted my computer it restarts fine, everything works as before, but I had this warning and don't know how to sort. Disk fragmentation has been doing these past two days ago and MS updated too. It's Vista Ultimate 32 bit

    Hello

    Method 1:

    I suggest you run the disk check and verify if it helps:

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/check-your-hard-disk-for-errors

    Note: You must backup data (files and documents) before troubleshooting on the corrupted volume, because there is a risk of data loss if the C: volume is damaged or unusable.

    Method 2:

    If the problem persists I suggest you to try the SFC (System File Checker) scan on your computer and check if the problem still persists. To see how to the SFC Scan click on the link below and follow the steps in the Kb article.
