7. Then press button 2 to increase the value of the selected digit. Press button 6 to decrease the value.

IMPORTANT

Each colour toner counter shows life as percentage used. So a toner showing 30% has used up 30% of its toner. 100% would indicate a near empty toner. This is the reverse of the toner life shown from the "usage menu" when the printer is in normal operation, which shows the toners as a percentage life remaining. You will want toner showing 00%. note:this is oposite of what you see in user mode
Some models exhange these steps

3) HOLD 0 + 4 "ENGINE DIAG LEVEL 2" shows

4) Press 1 to cycle to "fuser unit"

5) 2 to scroll to TONER

REST IS SAME WE WANT TO SET WHAT i GUESS IS AT 100% TO 0%.

The "Tractor 1 Tear" message is not a error as such, this is an information message showing the printer is set to the front tractor feed (tractor 1) if you press the button directly under "Tear" the printer should move the paper to the tear possition.

If the pritner is not printing I would recomend checking the following;

1. Ensure the printer is set to "ONLINE" press the button you should see ONLINE TRACTOR 1 TEAR on the display
2. Ensure the printer is loaded with paper, press the button under "Tear" the printer should move the paper forward if it is loaded into Tractor 1.
3. If you are not using Tractor 1, ensure you select the paper path you are using within the menu and move the paper selection lever.
4. Observer the LCD display for any errors that may be seen when print jobs are sent.
5. Try printing a menu print on the printer this will identify if the printer will print, the menu can be printed in the following way.
   -Power the printer ON holding down the button, keep the setup button held down whilst the printer initializes.
   -When the printer has finished initializing ensure the printer is OFFLINE
   -Press and release the button to enter the MENU
   -Press the button under "MENU" on the LCD display
   -Press the button under "PRINT" on the LCD display
   
   The printer should print a menu settings page, if this prints OK the most likely causes for the problem are;

1. The computer system is not sending jobs to the printer (check the correct printer is selected on the computer system)
2. Connectivity problem (check cabling, IP Addresses etc)
3. The wrong printer driver is being used

If the red light keeps flashing and you can print, then it means your color cartridge has no more ink in it. Please replace it. If this is not the case, switch off the printer for few minutes (10mins), unplug the power cord and reinstall all the cartridges.

If you need further help, let me know.


Good luck.

Thanks for using FixYa.

The waste ink absorber is actually a pad/sponge that absorbs left over ink spray. There's really no precise way to measure the amount of ink these pads hold so when the message first appears, "waste ink absorber is almost full" it's just an estimate.

The workaround for the message is as follows:

Reset ip2000 / 3000

1. Turn off printer
2. Hold down Resume button and press Power button.
3. Keep holding down Power button and let Resume button go.
4. Press Resume button 2 times then let BOTH buttons go.
5. Green lights will flash and then stop blinking.
6. When green lights are solid, press the Resume button 4 times.
7. Press the Power button and the printer should turn off, if not,
press the Power button once more.
8. Your printer should respond as normal.

Using the above procedure should clear the message and your printer should function normally afterward. Best of luck and thanks for using Fixya!

One or both cartridges are defective.Look on the left side on printer just to power button .There is a two indications in form of drops.If the left blinking replace the color cartridge, if the right blinking replace the black cartridge.If both blinking replace the both cartridges.If this not help your printer need service.

Disregard the monitor information and rely on the printer.

On the left panel of the printer are your indicator lights and buttons. Push the button immediately to the left of the 'ink drop' light [looks like a little tear drop]. Open the cover and the printhead assembly will move to the left and stop. Look very closely and find that little 'ink drop' imprinted into the plastic in the very middle of the printer where the printhead assembly stopped. That 'ink drop' will line up wih the ink cartridge that needs replacing. Push that button on the left again and the printhead assembly will either return to the 'replace' position, or move to the next ink cartridge that needs replacing. Keep pushing that button just once at a time until the printhead assembly identifies all cartridges that need replacing and moves into the 'replace' position. This 'replace' position will be on the right side of the printer where the opening occurs that allows the top cover of the printhead assembly to open.

Change the appropriate cartridges and you should be good to go.

Make sure you have at least 10 sheets of paper loaded.

Turn the printer off for at least 5 seconds, hold down the Tear-Off button, turn it back on, then release the button when the language menu starts printing.

After the language menu prints, verify the left and right Font light are off and the Pause light is on (for English). If not, press the LF/FF button until the lights are lit in this order. Press the Tear-Off button to select English.

Once the current settings print, press the Tear-Off button to enter setup. Follow the directions to change the serial port settings.

Let's Try first if it can print without using your computer just to check if printer is working fine by itself.
step1
Make sure its not connected to the computer and there is paper loaded on the printer. Turn off printer, press and hold paper button (middle button) then press and release the power button (right button). If you can see a flashing green light release your hold on the paper button.
If it prints by itself good go to step 2 if not check what lights do you see. Solid red light on ink light (tear drop button) means one or more inks is empty. Epson printer will not print if one or more ink is empty.
step2
Check if computer can detect printer goto start/control panel/systems/ click on hardware tab and click on device manager
On device manager click on Universal Serial Bus controllers press on the "+" sign check if there is USB printing support on it
Check if there is a mark (ie. ?, !, red x mark). If none good there is no conflicts. If there is a mark right click on USB printing support and click on update driver and install recommended
