Ink not compatable on sx 400

Chances are you are either;
1. using an "expired" ink cartridge. or

2. the Chip on the ink cartridge is erased and will not work.

Many re fillers do not reset the chip after refilling them.

This is Epson's way of saying "I do not like compatible, refilled cartridges...I hope this helps, Happy Holidays...Steve at TakeCharge ReCharge

Carts may not be compatible

Turn printer off for a few minutes then turn back on. If still flashing your cartridges may not be compatible.

Just have a look at the generic cross reference chart for aftermarket ink jet cartridges & you will see the one cartridge suits ten different Epson models

Hi

That's frustrating.... here's one possible solution. Uninstall driver and try downloading driver from website. click HERE. select your printer and OS of computer that you are using then download and install updated driver.

Hope this helps

go to this web. try downloading this software for resetting the Epson SX400 Counter. most of the time this fixes this problem.

Looks like that ink wasn't compatible after all. Not all replacements are. Maybe you can return it and get the Epson one.

From older Epsons: If the ink cartridges are empty (red light on), hold the ink switch 3 seconds to move the print head to the left. If they are not empty, hold paper switch until print head moves left. Once you remove a cartridge you can't reuse it, even if there's ink in it according to Epson.

Short answer is no... The SSC utility stopped development about 3+ years ago and hasn't been compatible with newer printers produced since.

The SX400 does have a suitable reset utility if you do some searching for "adjprog tx400 download" BUT word of warning, look for a reputable source and don't just run stuff without checking thoroughly for virus/malware payloads.

Hope that helps.
