I have Epson Workforce 520 given by my friend at a cheaper price but without cartridges (5 Cartridges 2 Black and 3 Color). I ordered remanufactured cartridges and installed it after charging the ink Scanner Error Appears and all the 3 Lights Power ON, Wifi ON and Auto Answer ON lights blink Is it because of installing re-manufactured ink cartridges Pls note that I have not taken single print out and its brand new printer. Just I was not having original cartridges and to save money i ordered and installed remanufactured cartridges and Scanner Error Appeared Pls advice Pls help
Remanufactured cartridges have too many problems. I have be using refillable with auto-reset chips and never have a problem. Google- refillable cartridges and be sure to use the proper ink, dye base or pigment. It makes a difference.

I just started calling Epson's customer service line every time. They always offered to FEDEX new ink. I got tired of waiting for it to come and began returning bad cartridges to office depot where I had bought it and found out that they will take it back if it doesn't work. Now I've decided that some (a lot) of Epson's ink cartridges for the RX580 are bad and that I just have to keep trying until I get ink cartridges that work. I had tried the qtip cleaning, checking the ink/sensor connection, and making sure I had them snapped in tight. I've finally figured out it IS the ink. BTW, I always use the ink Epson reccomends, so it is definately that many of their cartridges are faulty. It's a pain to have to return them but as long as I can return and replace them and eventually have a machine that will print when I need it to, I can live with that.
SOURCE: epson stylus cx8400 cannot recognize ink cartridges
I had the same problem except it would not recognize any of the ink cartridges. I kept hitting the OK button over and over again with the same cartridges in place not removing them at all and it finally recognized them. Decided to go to maintenance on the printer to do a test, and it went right back to not recognizing the cartridges. So i pressed the OK button over and over again until it finally recognized all the cartridges again, but this time i did not try and go into the maintenance to do a test run. Plugged it up to the computer and it has been working ever since. So press the OK button until it recognizes the cartridges, and run no tests on it is what my solution was for the problem. Really is a pain but it works now.

By the way, never mix originals with compatibles.

Hi The
ink reservoir doesnt have to be completely empty to fail. Replace the
cartridges. Some of the jets or all of them may be clogged especially if you
have not used your printer in a while. If there are cleaning instructions in
the manual clean the jets and then try to print from the printer's self test Goodluck
