Epson Stylus NX400 InkJet Printer - Page 6 - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

It seems that you installed your printer through the cd provided alongwith your printer. In this case the manual also must have been installed. Kindly click/start....all programs....c/epson....software and tech' guide. There you will get the step by step guidence on replacing the cartridge or else just get the cd and explore it for the pdf manual. In case you don't get it kindly let me know. I'll provide you a link to download it.

For this operation, first get the cartridges into the center and pull the plug on the printer so it won't try to put them away while you are working on them. I haven't tried this scheme on a printer yet, but it's worked in other tight spaces: dampen a paper towel with isopropyl alcohol (rubbing alcohol). Wrap it once around the end of a strip of poster board the width of the cartridge and long enough for convenient handling, and hold it with just enough tension the paper towel to keep it in place. Slide this under the ink heads and gently wipe them with the paper towel. Flip the cleaning tool over and repeat with this side. Replace the strip of paper towel and repeat as necessary. And while you are at it, gently wipe out the head parking zone so it doesn't re-contaminate the heads.

Of course, it is possible you really are out of ink - sometimes ink feed to the heads gets erratic when the level is very low.

The cartridges are chipped, you have to use all genuine epson or an equivalent with the correct chips. Not all replacement carts are correctly chipped. If you do have genuine cartridges fitted remove them all and clean the gold chip part with a soft tissue and firmly seat the carts. Hope that helps.

Go here and select your region then and select support. Enter printer details and download the drivers.

Hi!

Are you printing from your computer? Sounds like your driver software is corrupted. Uninstall and reinstall driver software.

Hope this helps.

No. You would need a print server in order to do that. The reason being is your printer does not have the "brain" in order to communicate wirelessly. Also, Bluetooth is NOT the same as wireless- Wireless is a different protocol for communications. I’m happy to help further over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/susan_42b401e0b1603d8a

If the printer is telling you to do this then you may be out of luck... but if the message is cropping up on the computer you can disable the nag screen using this approach:

1. Go to Printers and Faxes (or the equivalent screen that lists all your printers)
2. Right click your SX415 printer and choose "Printing Preferences"
3. Click on the "Maintenance" tab
4. Click on the "Speed & Progress" button
5. Tick the "Disable EPSON Status Monitor" checkbox
6. Click on OK
7. Click on OK to close the Preferences window

That should about do it...

This stops the nagging at least but I can't guarantee that it will force the printer to continue...

Hope it helps.

Spoke to Epson, said to slightly push down ink drum and push a little to the left if it is already to the right. Was given a local number where I could take it for repair, but just to look at it would be $30 which could be applied to final cost. Labor was to be at least $90. Why bother? You can get a new one cheaper. goto
epson.com/loyalty and you will get a discount on a new purchase.

Gentleman I spoke to, was so nice and wonderful to chat with. Today I am going to try to fix it myself. If I break something so what, my new one will arrive in two days.

Is it a new original Epson cartridge? Try another cartridge. If it is not the cartridge you have a problem with your print head.
good luck.

You may download software from here

Also check this link if you still have problems.

pls. vote for better service... thank you

Hi,

If you have just installed a new ink cartridge and an ink low or Replace ink cartridge message is still displayed, the cartridge may be incorrectly installed.

Follow these steps to make sure the cartridges are correctly installed:

1. Press the On button to turn on the Epson Stylus, or (if already on) press the Setup button.



2. Select Maintenance and press OK.



3. Select Change Ink Cartridge and press OK.



4. Open the scanner.



5. Open the cartridge cover.



6. Press down all the ink cartridges until they click into place to make sure they are properly seated.



7. Close the ink cartridge cover and push it down until it clicks into place.



8. Close the scanner.



9. Press OK to begin charging the ink. This takes about 2 minutes.
   
   You see a message on the display screen when ink charging is finished.
   
   Caution:
   
   Never turn off the Epson Stylus while ink is charging or you'll waste ink.
   
   If you remove an ink cartridge for later use, protect the ink supply area from dirt and dust and store it in the same environment as the Epson Stylus with the label facing upward. Note that there is a valve in the ink supply port, making covers or plugs unnecessary, but care is needed to prevent the ink from staining items that the cartridge touches. Do not touch the ink cartridge ink supply port or surrounding area, and do not store the cartridge upside down.
   
   If you remove a low or expended ink cartridge, you cannot reinstall and use the cartridge.

You did not say what kind of printer. Laser printers-- Look at the innards (Toner, image drum, fuser,etc) for something in the same location on the various parts. This is kind of general, but the cause is often obvious. Printers can also have this problem if memory locations have failed, or, in the case of some laser printers, the laser unit is malfunctioning.

Ink Jet printers. Usually caused by something in the paper path after the print head, or the print head. Cleaning the surface of the print head with a lint free damp towel may cure the problem. Duplex printers can get crud in the duplex assembly that will cause this symptom.

In other words, it's most likely a hardware related problem, not software

Assuming the cartridges are new (since almost all of them have a chip on them)

1. Make sure you match color of cartridge with the correct slot. If same error, then
2. remove all carts. and clean both cartridge holder and cartridge contacts with alcohol.

good luck

If ink level reach ink out level, follow How to.. on Epson status monitor. But, if it's not, turn off printer. Unlock carriage lock, then move carriage by hand. Or you can turn on printer and unplug power while carriage moving. Then move by hand freely.

You should be able to follow the bottom link and find it or you can check this answer .

Hope that helped..

Did you pull out the plastic tab to allow the ink to flow? It is sometimes an orange or green plastic tab which when pulled, has a long plastic ribbon attached to it. Pull it completely out.

Go to the Epson website and download the drivers for this model. Install the driver after download.

Follow this link, choose your operating system and download. When the dialog box pops open, click on run and it will prompt for install, you'll be good to go!
