JLWsales Epson R200 CIS Review

[dmagic1]

Put the carts thru one by one and then move the clip from the black to the blue. That should give you more room.
You'll probably want to use a fresh piece of that black form tape. Clean off the old piece first.

Help!!!... Here's the message I got

Delete all print jobs and turn the printer off. Remove any foreign objects from inside the printer. After a few minutes, turn the printer back on.

the ink and paper light are flashing red. Can anyone help me please?

[Bodyslide]

Turn the printer off. Close the DVD tray. Leave off for a minute. Then turn back on.

Epson Tech Support # is (562) 276-7296

[buckeejit]

I did that and it's not working

[dmagic1]

Unplug the printer and plug it back. Turn power on again. Try what Bodyslide and I said a couple of times. It should work.

[Bodyslide]

What were you doing prior to it crashing? Worse case give Epson a call.

[buckeejit]

it still aint working

[dmagic1]

It does this when you try to print and the paper will go in about an inch?

Reseat your carts and power off/on the printer again.

[buckeejit]

I've just try to set it up, when the cartridges slide across the inside of the printer, when it reaches the far left side you here like a grinding sound. but there is nothing jammed.

[Bodyslide]

Your using the CIS Correct? If so make sure that the tubes are not hitting the cartridges anywhere inside the printer.

[buckeejit]

yeah slide, the tubes aint touching the cartridges.

[dmagic1]

How do you have it set up? Is the cover still on your carts or did you remove the cover?
I notice that my printer did this too a few times while I was trying to get my cart unclogged. It had nothing to do with anything being stuck in the printer. I never found what was causing it but power off/on would help. Sometimes It took a few times for it to work. As you can image with me already having the problem with my cart, I was almost about the throw the printer across the room cause of the flashing lights.

[buckeejit]

the cover is still on yes

[Bodyslide]

The first night I had mine the lights flashed for a few hours. I got so upset over it , I turned it off and unplugged it. The next day I pulled the CIS out and placed the original cartridges in ran a few prints off no issues. Then reloaded the CIS and rechecked my setup of the tubes. And since then no issues.

[Bodyslide]

I say try letting it stay off and unplugged for about an hour and try it again.

[dmagic1]

Can you post some pics of your setup buckeejit?

[Bodyslide]

How far away are your cartridges from the printer? Mine are almost touching the right side. Your tubes might not be long enough with how yours are positioned?

[buckeejit]

ok here's 2 pics, sorry about the quality. they were taken with my phone.

ah crap, I dunno how to attach the pics :S how dumb am I?

[Bodyslide]

2nd pic

[Bodyslide]

Looks like the clip might be hitting something on the left side of the printer. Also the tubes themselves might be hitting the printer cover to the left. Maybe move the clip back to the right just a bit. Make it sit flush on the cartridges.

When I get home, I'll try and make some photos of my rig.

[buckeejit]

ok I'll try that tomorrow. I go so annoyed, I packed it away lol. thanx for all ya help and I'll let you know what happens tomorrow.

[dmagic1]

Looks like too much tube.
Tubes when folded and completely straight shouldnt be past this red line.

[Bodyslide]

I was thinking the same thing.

[poolenglish]

ok ill try this method of uploading photos.... http://members.cox.net/layhay/epson%20setup%20003.jpg after much duck tape and a couple months of use i have finally got it set up this way. It seems to be the best for me. I cut a slot with my cordless circular saw so i will use a zip tie to hold the tubes there. Just tape for now.http://members.cox.net/layhay/epson%20setup%20002.jpghttp://members.cox.net/layhay/epson%20setup%20004.jpg

[Bodyslide]

Never thought about running the tubes up top.

Here's the link to your photo.

[dmagic1]

Notice if I fold my tubes completely straight they would reach the red line.

[poolenglish]

Here is a pic with zip tie hooked up.

Got a shot further back?
