Epson says your cartridge is not genuine Epson cartridge.

If a reset is successful, you will see this warning screen. Once lined up, we push down the cartridge until the LED light turns green. There is a removable guard to help us position the cartridge. To use a resetter, we line up a cartridge's chip with pins. When the chip tells the printer that the cartridge is empty, the printer software alerts the user and refuses to print. On the contrary, an ARC chip uses the kill signal reset itself this is why the resetter doesn't work with ARC chips. For one-time chips, this message will be detrimental. Once the ink is depleted, the printer will send a 'kill' signal to the cartridge. The resetter only works when you have some ink left in the cartridge. The ARC chip has a different reset mechanism than a one-time chip has. The resetter doesn't work on a refillable cartridge's ARC chip. Such as the original Epson or third-party compatibles. The resetter only works with one-time-use chips. We have a table which summarizes the cartridge models and resetters. And it doesn't work for T220, T288, and T410. A resetter only works on specific models.įor example, a resetter with SKU AS-RESET-EP2 only works with US model T200 T252 T273 T277 and European model 17, 18, 24, and 26.

We can find resetters at under Accessories-Resetter-Cartridge. Otherwise, the printer will still show low ink and prevent us from printing.Ī 'resetter' tool allows us to change page number.
