Could you please help me? My epson Stylus sx200 no longer prints although all the cartridges are filled. I suspect that I forgot to take off the plastic protection whil exchanging the black ink cartridge a few days ago: how can I make the carrage to stay in a position so that I can check and remove the yellow tape, please? Thanks so much for your help

Not sure of your'e model but try this link: http://esupport.epson-europe.com/ViewArticle.aspx?lng=de-DE&kbid=313630&data=qBjAbS6NcI2p50rhTTFwOZ88suut9FG0&cl=1

Although, after opening the top cover, you may also check which button moves the head and once found, press the same button untill the head is reachable.

good luck

pls. vote for better service

Hello

Open your printer by pushing up on the printer lid. Locate the printer's ink cartridges, housed in a gray bay in the middle of the printer. Remove the ink cartridges from their bays by pulling up on the black tab that secures them and gently pulling towards you out of the printer. Remove any packaging tape that you find on the contacts of the printer cartridge. If you leave this tape on, it will block the cartridges from making proper contact with the printer. Replace the ink cartridges back inside the printer and reprint your document.

Epson sx200 how to a cartridge

I don't understand your question.

But I'll take a guess that you want to refill your cartridge's ink. Don't do that.


I have to ask this question of you, just to make sure this is not an issue. Are you using a factory new ink cartridge?
Please consider the following:
If you are using a refilled or third party cartridge that may well be your problem. Most manufacturers build logic into their products to prevent the use of “Other Equipment Manufactured” cartridges as well as re-filled cartridges.
They do this to prevent problems from contaminated inks causing problems with print quality or damaging the physical printhead.
If you are using factory new cartridges, then please call the manufacturers Technical Support for assistance with the warranty on the cartridges

Epson sx200 One of the colour inks is empty and no print in black

Hi, this is not a solution because I don't think there is one apart from buying new inks. Epson and all other inkjet printers do this to prevent the coloured print head nozzles from getting blocked. If they are not used for a long time the ink dries up and blocks the nozzles. Epson recommends printing at least once a month with all colours to prevent this. Printing in black only option will only work if the colored inks are OK. Whenever the printer is turned on it performs a head clean, this is why the coloured inks get used over time even though they are not used for printing.

I have just replaced the ink in my epson sx200 but the ink light is still flashing and it won't print - any ideas. Thanks

Try opening the printer properties then selecting Printing Preferences -> Maintenance -> Epson Status Monitor.
This will give you an indication of whether the cartridges have been recognised.
Some of the older T071x cartridges are not compatible - you must get ones specific to to SX200.
