Many Epson ink cartridges come with their own installed chip. Each time the cartridge runs low on ink, the chip is tripped,
causing the cartridge to stop working in the printer. Most people think that once the chip trips in the cartridge,
it can no longer be used. But you do not need to buy a new ink cartridge right away. It is still possible to reuse the same cartridge. You just need to reset the chip and refill the cartridge with new ink.
Refill your Epson cartridge with ink by poking a hole in the label found at the top of your cartridge.
Inject a new ink into the hole's chamber using a plastic syringe. Before refilling the cartridge, tape over the outlet holes at the bottom, and tape over the new holes that you make afterward.
You will find the tape, ink, and syringe inside an Epson refill kit when can be purchased at retailers or online.
Hold the resetter and the cartridge together as you wait for the green LED light to start blinking and turn off by itself. This will take up to six seconds.
Once the light goes off, it means the cartridge chip has been reset

Did you refill the cartridge? If so, then you will need to reset a chip on the cartridge somehow. Usually epson doesn't sell "refill" ink unless it is an EcoTank series printer.
It may be a paper jam error. I find when you use an old or rough page in your printer, it don't properly go to its way and cause to displace a sensor that is situated at under the Head carriage of this printer which can be seen in following pictures. Solution: check if this problem is occurred after paper jam then check the sensor is on its proper place or not if not then open the printer upper cover, open the lock of carriage rod from both sides. Set the sensor at its proper place and then check it.
There isn't a reset button, just agree with the printer and push the "OK" or Cancel button, and keep on printing. Long story made short, most ink cartridges come with pre-stamped ink levels or expiration date, that you or I can't change. That the price you pay for superior tech and why ink cost so much. I hope that helps.
Epson TX400 is so sensitive in terms of ink cartridges, you can only replace a refilled ink cartridge in this type of printer if the cartridge has an automatic ink reseter chip. When you replace a cartridge in your printer, it will automatically register the ink level in the chip. So you need an ink reseter chip to replace a new refilled cartridge.
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 Don
If you replaced with "genuine" ink-cartridges, then it should report "full".
If you replaced with "refilled" ink-cartridges, then the company that refilled forgot to "reset" the electronics inside the ink-cartridge, in order to report "full".
Or, perhaps, the software "toolbox" that came with the printer has a button "I have installed new cartridges, please re-verify the ink-levels" ??? Click that button.
They cut costs on Epson compatible cartridges by using low quality ink and chips or not resetting the chips at all. Sounds like you got cartridges that the chips were not reset on so your printer thinks all the cartridges are empty. I own a Cartridge World ink refilling store and I would never recommend purchasing compatible Epson cartridges from anyone. I would buy refills of Epson brand cartridges and make sure the seller reset the chips.
