Cleaning printer how to clean inside my epson rx620 printer mainly ink and foam pads at bottom soaked with ink

Answer This Question
  • Mattak Feb 16, 2008

    I looked inside the back of the RX620 and really do not see how this Waste Ink tank will fit or solve the problem. The reset is no problem, just hold down the B&W and the Stop button while powering up the printer.




    So any idea how this eBay fix actually works? I don't see that pads are provided and I dont see how the tank could be installed.


    Thanks

Service required parts inside printer are at end of service life Will i be able to fix myself
Maybe, but other failures may occur soon. This usually is a "waste ink absorber is full" message. If you disassemble the printer, you will find absorbant pads at the sides (one is right under where the ink cartridge rests when not in use). If you remove the pads, blot off the excess ink and then rinse them until the water runs clean. Then let the pads dry (you can use a blow dryer to speed up the final drying step). Then reassemble the printer.

Next you need to reset the counter for the waste ink. Epson provides a utility to do this for some models: http://www.epson.com/cgi-bin/Store/support/InkPadsForm.jsp?cookies=no&com.broadvision.session.new=Yes . You need to enter your printer serial number to get the link.

I hope this helps.

If it is your waste ink pad that is full and needs replacing you can take it to the nearest Epson service centre and have it done the charge is usually about £50-£60 If your husband is good with printers he could strip it down using the service manual and clean the pads himself but he will also need a reset utility to restet the printer when he is finished If your printer is not a new model you may find a reset utility free on the internet

I changed ink cartridges in my epson stylus Photo RX620 and now thr window is telling me "Parts inside your printer are at the endof their service life.See printer documentation for details." I cannot...
that only means that the inkpad of your printer is already soaked by dried inks, this inkpad is the part of the printer is like a foam that absorbs excess inks when your printing, doing head cleaning, and head alignment, when it is soaked, the printer will stop working cause it can affect the output or print out, unfortunately, the inkpad is not a user replaceable part so either you go to service center, so they can replace it or better yet call epson if your printer is till coverd by 1 yr warranty, they should send you a replacement printer. thanks.

Need to replace ink pads for epson stylus rx620.printer. Where to buy and how to replace?
You don't need to buy the pad. Just wash with hot water. Is there a message to replace waste ink pad?. You need to reset waste ink counter. Use SSC utility to reset it. Extend outlet pipe to outside. You don't need clean pad again. If you wish to wash or replace pad, you must open case and diasemble all mechanics. Find SSC at indoreset.blogspot.com. And printer diagram at printersiam.com

Re.ink pad
Waste Ink Pads. They need to be cleaned/replaced and the counter reset. Look at the Ink Waste Container kits here. Get a CISS for your printer. It will save you TONS of MONEY, never change a cartridge again and it will pay for itself in a month.

Possible to soak up excess ink on the 'pads'?
Hi Macddcam...

You have to remember that the pads are designed to be ultra absorbent so it's going to be very difficult to get them to give up their ink unless you have something even more absorbent.

Trying to mop up or syringe out pads is really a bit of a losing proposition in terms of time, effort and ink mess so really the smarter option is to redirect the waste flow (ie: install an external tank) and allow the ink base (ie: water in the RX620) to slowly evaporate off over the course of the printers life..

If you need information on the process for the RX620 then you can find it here

Service required parts inside your printer are at the end of there service life.seer your printers documentation for details
Hi, I had the same problem with my RX500.

All you need to do is perform a reset, by pressing and holding the "Stop", "B&W", and "Power" buttons all at the same time and holding them down for at least 10-15secs. It may take a few goes as there's a bit of a nack in getting the buttons pushed at the same time.

Let me know how you get on.

Changing ink reservor on Epson rx620
You will need a rescue from http://www.TheServiceManualShop.com. This will give all you need to pull the machine apart and clean the ink pads in the base of machine. You will also need the special bit of software they include to enable you to reset the counter in the printers firmware. Once all done you will be right as rain. If the machine is within its warranty period Epson will fix it.

RX620 Error Message
This message comes up after about 40000 registers on a use counter. I posted what I did on the Epson RX620 forum. Look it up. Basically I bought a repair manual on the net for about $10.00 I used this to take the RX620 apart down to the waste ink catch pads which I removed cleaned dried and replaced. It was a long job the first time and you need the manual in order to figure out how to do it. My pads were only about 1/3 used but I live in a dry climate. So punch those override buttons and keep going. You might put a plastic sheet or pan under the printer to catch the waste ink when it actually does leak out.
