My stylus offive t40w printer wont recognise new ink cartridges

SOURCE: the printer is not recognising the new print

When the print cartridge contacts are dirty and the printer cannot detect/communicate with print cartridge.

Clean the contact points on the cartridges with a dry, lint-free cloth.

1. Open the top cover of the printer.

2. Remove the print cartridges.

3. Clean the copper-colored contact points on the cartridges with a damp, lint-free cloth.
Use a dry, lint-free cloth to remove moisture from the contacts.

5. Insert the cartridges back into the printer.

6. Close the top cover.

7. Try printing again.

If you still cant communicate try with new cartridge

1. With the ink cartridge holder in the ink cartridge replacement position, lift the lids on the cartridges but do not take them out.
   
   
   • If the cartridge holder is not in the ink cartridge replacement position, press and hold the Maintenance/ ink cartridge replacement/ cleaning button (depending on your printer model) until the holder moves out.
2. Check the yellow tag/flap has been removed from the top of the cartridges.
3. Push down firmly on each cartridge to make sure it is clicked into place.
4. Close the lids down gently but firmly so they click into place. Be careful not to touch the cartridge sensor.
5. Press the Maintenance/ ink cartridge replacement/ cleaning button on the panel to move the carriage back to the right hand side and start the ink charging process.
   
   
   • This process takes about one and a half minutes to complete.
   • When ink charging is finished, the print head returns to its home position on the far right, under the plastic casing. The power light stops flashing and remains on, and the error light goes out.
   
   
6. If the error light flashes after the print head returns to the home position, the ink cartridge may not be installed properly.
   
   
   
   
   
7. If the red light is no longer displayed, but Status Monitor still reports a Non-Genuine Ink warning when the cartridges are genuine, perform a full uninstall and reinstall of the printer driver, using the latest driver from the Drivers & Software section of the Epson Support website. For help with this step, see one of the following Related Articles:

8. If the red light is still on the printer, and Status Monitor indicates that an ink cartridge is not recognised, follow the steps below:
   
   
   1. Power the printer OFF.
   2. Disconnect the power lead for 60 seconds.
   3. Reconnect the power lead. Do not power the printer on yet.
   4. Perform a printer operation check.
