Can you help? After changing the cartridges, I keep getting a message about the ink head being incorrect...I am directed to press 'OK' which does not help; then to turn printer off and on again, which helps momentarily. I don't know anything about print heads and didn't move or change anything but the ink cartridges. (Using Canon ink..the same as before.) It will not print at all.

    Also...on/off light isn't going on! Even when printer is on and other indicator lights are working. This happened at the same time!

  • madeysperb Apr 22, 2009

    Alarm light is on with this message about the ink head.

Cleaning your head might resolve your problem. Perform the below steps to clean the head:

Print Head Cleaning / Head Refreshing If the printed nozzle check pattern is broken, missing, or a specific color is not printed, clean the print head (Cleaning) or print head deep cleaning (Deep Cleaning). Note:

  1. Cleaning the print head consumes a small amount of ink. Cleaning too often reduces the amount of ink in the ink tanks.

  2. Print head cleaning is performed when you connect the power cord. Your machine may perform print head cleaning periodically to avoid clogging.
Overview:
Step1:
Print the Nozzle Check Pattern.
To check whether the print head nozzles are clogged, print the Nozzle Check Pattern.
Can you help? After changing - downicon.gif If the print quality is poor, perform print head cleaning.
Step 2:
Perform print head cleaning.
This unclogs the print head nozzles
Print the Nozzle Check Pattern again.
To check whether the print head nozzles are clogged, print the Nozzle Check Pattern.
If the print quality is still poor, perform two print head cleanings.

SOURCE: after changing the ink cartridge

Hello.
This can happen with certain types of compatible cartridges. the large black is usually the issue. Try unplugging the printer from the power for 5 mins. Also Try replacing the large black with a different brand, compatible cartridges are great for saving money but can cause some issues with the electronics. I recommend G & G Brand compatibles. they have been rated very well in PC Magazines and give no issues with recognition.

How do I change the ink cartridges on a epson310

  • Turn on your product
If an ink cartridge is expended, you see a message on the LCD screen. Note which cartridges need to be replaced and press the OK button, then choose Replace now.

1-h1s5zfpt5of2l4on03jpduhb-4-0_0.jpg
If you are replacing a cartridge before you see a message on the LCD screen, press the home button if necessary and select Setup. Select Maintenance, then select Ink Cartridge Replacement and press the OK button.

  • Lift up the scanner unit

  • Squeeze the tab on the cartridge and lift the cartridge straight up to remove it.


3-h1s5zfpt5of2l4on03jpduhb-4-9.jpg

Note: Dispose of used cartridges carefully. Do not take the used cartridge apart or try to refill it. Warning: If ink gets on your skin, wash it thoroughly with soap and water. If ink gets into your eyes, flush them immediately with water. If ink gets into your mouth, spit it out and see a doctor right away. Keep ink cartridges out of the reach of children.

  • Before opening the new cartridge package, shake it gently four or five times.

Do I have to replace the color ink cartrigdes in my epson xp-610 printer

Q:




How do I change the ink cartridges?






A:




Do the following:
Removing and Installing Ink Cartridges
Make sure you have your replacement cartridges handy before you begin. You must install new cartridges immediately after removing the old ones. Caution:

Leave your old cartridges in the printer until you are ready to replace them to prevent the print head nozzles from drying out. Do not open ink cartridge packages until you are ready to install the ink. Cartridges are vacuum packed to maintain reliability.




  1. Make sure that the CD/DVD tray is not inserted for printing.


  2. Turn on your product.



    • If an ink cartridge is expended, you see a message on the LCD screen. Note which cartridges need to be replaced and press OK . Then select Yes, replace now and press OK .


    • If you are replacing a cartridge before you see a message on the LCD screen, press the left or right arrow buttons, select Setup > OK > Maintenance > OK > Ink Cartridge Replacement > OK . Then press the start_black_icon.jpg start button.




  3. Lift up the scanner unit.



    scanner_unit_open_xp600.jpg



    Caution:

    Do not move the print head by hand; otherwise, you may damage your product. Do not touch the flat white cable inside the printer.



  4. Push in the blue tab to unlock the ink cartridge you are replacing. Then lift the bottom of the ink cartridge to remove it.



    ink_cartridge_tab_push_xp600_800.jpg



    Warning: If ink gets on your skin, wash it thoroughly with soap and water. If ink gets into your eyes, flush them immediately with water. If ink gets into your mouth, spit it out and see a doctor right away. Keep ink cartridges out of the reach of children.



  5. Recap the used ink cartridge using the cap that came with it.



    ink_recap_xp600_800.jpg



    Note: Dispose of used cartridges carefully. Do not take the used cartridge apart or try to refill it.



  6. If you are replacing the Black (BK) ink cartridge, it is recommended that you shake the new cartridge gently four or five times before unwrapping it. You do not need to shake the Photo Black (PBK) cartridge or any of the other color ink cartridges.



    ink_shake_xp600_800.jpg



    Caution:

    Do not shake the cartridges after opening the packages, or ink may leak.



  7. Remove the cartridge from the package.



    ink_package_open_xp600_800.jpg



    Caution:

    Do not touch the areas shown above. Doing so may prevent normal operation and printing.



  8. Remove the cap from the cartridge and store it in the bag that came with your product for later use.



    ink_cap_remove_store_xp600_800.jpg



    Note: Save the cap so you can recap ink cartridges before storing or disposing of them.

    Caution:

    Do not remove any other labels or seals, or ink will leak.



  9. Insert the ink cartridge head first into the ink cartridge holder. Then press the bottom of the ink cartridge down until it clicks into place.



    ink_cartridge_insert_xp600_800.jpg





  10. Once you replace all the cartridges that need replacing, close the scanner unit.



    ink_cartridge_scanner_unit_lower_xp600.jpg



    The product starts priming the ink. This takes a few minutes. When you see a completion message on the LCD screen, ink replacement is complete. Note: If you see an error screen telling you an ink cartridge is installed incorrectly, lift up the scanner unit and press the ink cartridge down until it clicks into place. When you\'re finished, close the scanner unit.



If you remove a low or expended ink cartridge, you cannot re-install and use the cartridge.

Caution:

If you remove an ink cartridge for later use, recap the ink cartridge using the cap that came with it to prevent the ink from drying out and to protect the surrounding area from getting smeared by ink. Store the ink cartridge in the same environment as the product. Do not leave the product with the ink cartridges removed for an extended period of time. Otherwise, ink remaining in the print head nozzles may dry out and you may not be able to print.
