must go down ALL THE WAY. Contact with The chip is only made in the last 1/32 of an
inch. If the cartridge moves up just slightly, contact with the chip is lost and a red light
comes on. Or if the tubes have too much tension when the cartridges move to the far left,
it will pull the cartridge (black) up, causing a red light. If you do not think the cartridges
are secure, then add shims, tape or what ever you can devise to keep them in place.
Release some of the tension on the tubes by moving the tube in the bracket to the left.
Don't put too much slack in the tubing or it will interfere with the cartridges moving back
and forth. This adjustment is critical and best done by disengaging the white lever under
the cartridge holder with the power off. Then slide the cartridges back and forth by hand
while adjusting tubing tension. Be sure to put the carts all the way to the right before
turning the power back on.
If you have a premature red light on, when it is not supposed to be on this is a serious
problem. Try turning the printer power off for 10 seconds, and then turn it back on again.
If this does not work, new chips may be needed for the CFS carts. Call us for technical
support.
Ink Foam Accumulation:
Some where between 6 months and 18 months of operation, you will have to do some
preventive maintenance on your CFS. Ink foam gets trapped in the sponge inside the
cartridge. This ink foam will accumulate and reach an intolerable level after many, many
prints. We don't know the exact number, but it usually occurs somewhere between 6
months and 18 months. It depends how heavily you use your printer. The symptoms of "Ink
Foam Build Up" are missing nozzles or the disappearance of an entire color. Normally a few
cleaning cycles will bring your printer back to normal, but when excessive ink foam has
accumulated, cleaning cycles will not bring it back. Correcting the problem is not difficult.
It amounts to flushing out the foam by drawing fresh ink out of the bottom of the
cartridge. The details of the procedure are described on the CFS troubleshooting page on
the website. Keep your original Epson cartridges as they are needed for this procedure.
They can be used several times for revalidation of printer performance.
