If at any time during this, all lights start blinking again, analyze. Now that all nozzles are firing, align the head. Follow the cleaning instructions provided by IJM. This implies that the capping station and/or head needs to be cleaned. Now the printer is on, and you can print a nozzle check.
#EPSON STYLUS PHOTO R280 ERROR LIGHTS HOW TO#
Once you figure out how to get it to turn on without blinking lights, proceed.
Figure out what gets the printer to power-on successfully. So, rather than do a cleaning, you tried alignment. Then you refilled the carts and was able to print something, but the printout didn’t come out right. It then detected that ink was out, so you tried to reset the waste tanks? But that turned out not to be an issue. To recap: You were able to get it to print by power cycling. It sounds to me like you’re thrashing trying a bunch of stuff without systematically trying to figure out what is the root cause. Somehow, while doing this, the printer is now back to the same blinking lights. I then printed out a nozzle check and there was a solid smear with one of the colors. I turned the printer back on or whatever you do after putting the cartridges back in. I refilled the cartridges and re-installed them.
Auto reset chips are used, so you do not need to reset the chips manually. I did what they told me and then said it would take 24 hours. This continuous ink system is designed for Epson Stylus Photo R280/RX595/RX680 printers that use the T0771 black ink cartridge, T0772 cyan, T0773 magenta, T0774 yellow, T0775 light cyan and T0776 light magenta cartridge. I never got to reset anything because of the Reference Number issue. I think I got as far as it telling me that one waste XX was 86% and one was 24%. I installed it but there was a problem with the Reference Number so I could not finish the installation. I opened that up and saw that six of the cartridges were out of ink. I believe I pressed that and got the printer head to line up in position to take out the cartridges. I did this and turned the printer back on. I found that the only way to change the printer status was to pull out the plug from the wall. If it is a malfunction of a circuit board triggering it - there is nothing you can do but bring it to a repair center. But you should eliminate these two possibilities. We really can not trouble shoot hardware issues beyond the obvious. The printer is locked out due to needing to have its waste pad replaced and the counter reset. Cleaning it with alcohol is a good idea from time to time.īut what you are describing about not being able to release the print head sounds like Dan’s first post. I am not certain if the decoder strip will affect this. The likelihood of it being an electrical malfunction on the circuit board that detects this is possible. It may not be a large object - but something small enough to interfere. Turn off the printer, remove any obstructions, and turn it back on. The print head is obstructed by paper or another foreign material. Dana is out today - so can not respond - but the blinking lights FAQ from Epson for the R2880 is here: Īccording to Epson this is what is happening.
