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

I do not wish to replace the color ink in my printer, but I have replaced the black ink. However, my printer seems to be stuck in a loop that will not let me print until I replace the color cartridges.

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 Do I have to replace the color ink cartrigdes in m - start_black_icon.jpg start button.




  3. Lift up the scanner unit.

    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 toDo I have to replace the color ink cartrigdes in m - ink_cartridge_tab_push_xp600_800.jpg 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. 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 fivDo I have to replace the color ink cartrigdes in m - ink_shake_xp600_800.jpging it. You do not need to shake the Photo Black (PBK) cartridge or any of the other color ink cartridges.

    Caution:

    Do I have to replace the color ink cartrigdes in m - ink_package_open_xp600_800.jpg the cartridges after opening the packages, or ink may leak.



  7. Remove the cartridge from the package.

    Caution:

    Do not touDo I have to replace the color ink cartrigdes in m - ink_cap_remove_store_xp600_800.jpg 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:


  9. Insert the ink cartridge head first into the ink cartridge holder. Then press the bottom of the ink cartDo I have to replace the color ink cartrigdes in m - ink_cartridge_scanner_unit_lower_xp600.jpg>


    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.

SOURCE: Printer will not print black, but will not let me replace black cartridge

Had the same problem but this worked for me. To force a cartridge change, press and hold down the PAPER FEED button for at least 5 seconds as suggested here:

http://esupport.epson-europe.com/ViewArticle.aspx?lng=en-GB&kbid=313630&data=qBjAbS6NcI3fNMgp8+fHGGs5vImpFwyM

I then changed the black cartridge, even though I hadn't used much ink from the old cartridge and the computer was showing it as three quarters full.

Sorry Desperate. All inkjet printers, from all companies,  are programed to only operate with ink in all containers to avoid other problems. Their is no workaround. Please rate me not harshly just  because you don't like the answer. Rate based upon the truth of an answer.

SOURCE: My Epson Stylus NX 400 is not printing.

no it cannot. Those multi-colored cartridge system requires that you put in every single color, AND ensure that they are not empty before they will print. Even if all you want is a black and white copy.

Unfortunately you cannot override this behaviour without installing a valid cartridge in the printer.

Epson printers do not have this sort of functionality as it would leave the printhead open to damage and foam clogging.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

Why is my Epson Printer not Printing Black?

Hello, Mick -

What is the model of your Epson printer? You can choose Comment and add the model number or name there.

Since I have no idea what model of Epson printer you have, I also have no idea if your printer just is a black ink printer or if it can print in more than just black.

Some options regarding your problem:
* Your printer has run dry of black ink and needs a new black ink cartridge or an ink refill.
* One or more of the color inks for your printer have run dry and you need to replace the color ink cartridges with new ones or refill the color ink reservoirs.

If your printer is meant to print in both black and other colors (magenta, cyan, yellow), then, you need to know that the 3 colors are used and mixed with the black ink to make black print. So, for a color printer, one needs to have all 4 ink cartridges filled with adequate ink.

Best wishes.

Epson Workforce 610 blocked (or malfunctioning) nozzles

With epsom ink jet printers the printhead is on the machine, not he cartridge as with many printers. This complicates things!
I suggest you get some cleaner cartridges put them in and run one single cleaning cycle each day until the cartridge is finished. Remember just One cleaning each day,,, this is to allow time for the cleaner to sit and "possibly" dissolve the blockage.
It is about your only chance of salvage.
An Ink jet printers worst enemy is sitting for long periods of time without printing on a regular basis, The ink dries in the print head nozzle!

The ink cartrigde would have been provided with an injection kit to extract and install. In any absence, refer to the retail for installation kits for replaceable ink or refills.

We have Epson ink jet printer. It worked fine when we got it last month but now the pictures are really awful - the colors are blurring and running together and there are recurring horizontal streaks...

Maybe the ink cartrigde is running out. Get sure that the cartrigde has enough ink, if it has not then reload it. If it has enough ink, then review that the printhead be clean, (you could clean it by using Isopropyl alcohol), then you can use the tools included in printer software to align or maintain cartrigdes. If this does not fix the problem, then replace the cartrigde.

WHEN THE INK CAPS ARE FILLED CARTRIGDES LEAK FROM THE BOTTOM PART

I Would Stick with Epson Genuine Cartridges.

Hello, In Purchasing Epson's CX 5400, CX4600, & CX7400 and more, I found out that Epson does not like Generic Printer Cartridges. That sounds like your problem. Also in Purchasing the Brother's . Color that should be Yellow, will turn out Green, etc. These printers have a chip, that will detect if it is Generic or Genunie. When using Generic Cartridges, it will print lines thru the words, stripes across the picture and also do a mix match with the colors.

That's what these Companies do., so they can keep selling the ink cartridges. Some Printers, are able to use Generic, but you have to fill them up yourself and I heard, quite MESSY.

So I learned, thru trial and error, that you must use the ORIGINAL Genuine Cartridges for these PRINTERS. I had to replace the printer, but Epson, Lexmark & Brothers are always on sale. My Brother & Epson cost me $50.00 with Rebate. Don’t waste too much ink in cleaning it.

This is the only advice I can give you. If you find this helpful, pls rate me.

Thanks and Good Luck :0)
