I have any Epson Stylus 7800 that has the maintenance error code 0040. I have found solutions to reset the counter. To access the counter you must hold down the paper source + eject/cut + paper feed down buttons while powering it on. This does not get me into the maintenance 2 mode. Is there any way to get into it?

Hi James,

You need to change the Waste ink tank to reset the counter. There is no other way to do it.

Maintenance request 0002What is this mean?

SOURCE: EPSON STYLUS 4000 MAINTENANCE REQUIRED

While powering up the printer, hold down the three leftmost
arrow buttons:
[left-arrow] [down-arrow] [up-arrow]

You will get a whole different set of menus.
Use the up/down arrow buttons to select the "Clear Counters" menu, then press the [right-arrow] button.
Use the up/down arrows to get to the maintenance tank entry... where you can clear its counter.

Then turn the power off, wait, then turn it on.

You can use this diagnostic startup to clear most of the counters (and their related maintenance codes).

3) POWER ON, whilst holding the buttons.

4) ?View Counters? should appear on the display, so press ?Paper feed? button down until ?Clear Counters? is displayed.

5) Press ?Select type? button + Paper Feed button + wait until ?Cleaner? is displayed.
