If your Epson Stylus NX, SX, S series printing device shows a message that “Some parts of the printer have worn out and you need to send it to service center", while all the LEDs on the printer are blinking, most likely this indicates that the resource of the so-called “Pampers” of the printer has been exhausted and needs to be replaced. Usually you can use various programs or utilities that allow you to reset the diaper counter and you can continue printing. But after a large cycle of printed sheets, sooner or later the diaper actually becomes overfilled with ink and it can simply leak out of the printer onto your desktop.

To avoid such trouble, we bring to your attention an article that describes in detail how to output diapers on printers and multifunction devices, using the example of Epson Stylus NX130, Epson Stylus SX130, Epson Stylus SX125, Epson Stylus S22.

For this we need a rubber tube and a 100 ml container. The pictures show the corners, in principle it is quite possible to do without them, the main thing is that the connections are strong and do not let ink through.

And so, open the cover on the back of the MFP or printer, you may need a screwdriver for this. Disconnect the printer's rubber tube that is connected to the diaper and attach it to the tube that will discharge ink into the container. To do this, make two holes in the plug of the ink flask: one for the cable, the second for air outlet.

Next, everything is very simple, insert the end of the rubber tube into the ink container, and close the lid so as not to crush the cable, for free ink output. The waste ink container should be level with the printing device.

When performing all these actions, be extremely careful and do everything wearing protective gloves so as not to get your hands dirty;-)

In fact, there are two most common problems with Epson printers: the diaper counter is reset and the cartridges are reset. I am silent about the drying out of the print head, since this is a problem for everyone inkjet printers. I described in the article “” about resetting the diaper counter and removing ink from it. But the problem with zeroing CISS cartridges remained without a solution for a long time.

More recently, Epson management realized that it was simply useless to fight the illegal installation of continuous ink supply systems (popularly called CISS for short) on Epson printers and decided to release two models of their printers with their own CISS already pre-installed (Epson L200 and Epson L800). I note that the L800 model is made on the basis of the best printer for home photo printing - Epson T50. I recommend it to everyone - you won't regret it.

The most pleasant surprise of the new printers was the so-called chipless CISS installed on them. The beauty of such CISS is that the printer can print until the ink runs out in the system itself. That is, there are no longer printing stops on half a sheet. It seems like a small thing, but those who print large volumes of color images on Epson printers will understand me.

Now, after a little background, let's move on to our “patient” and begin the “operation” :)

First, remove the cartridges from the print head and remove the chips. We don't need them anymore. Some people simply cover the contacts of the chips with tape, but I don’t see the point in this, since we will no longer need the chips from the cartridges.

Then, without turning off the printer, launch the PrintHelp program. Download links necessary programs will be at the end of the article. After launching the program, we will see a window with an image of our printer.

Initially the program starts in simplified mode. In order to enable the display of all possibilities for working with the printer, we need to go to the “File” menu and then to “Settings”.

Then, in the window that opens, check the box next to “Allow additional operations for printers” and click on the “OK” button

After this, the programs will appear on the right side additional settings printer

In the window that appears, click “Yes”. In the next window, click “I understand” and wait for all operations to update the printer firmware to complete.

Once all operations are completed, you will be prompted to restart the printer.

We turn off the printer and when we turn it on we are happy with the chipless Epson SX130.

Note

When flashing the printer to a chipless one, cleaning the printer through the standard Epson utility stops working. Now to clean the printer we will use a third-party utility called PrintClean. Great program- nothing extra. I doubt that you will have any problems with it. You can download the program from the link at the end of the article.

If you doubt that you can understand PrintClean, do everything according to the instructions.
First, let's launch the program. The program icon will appear in the tray next to the Windows clock.

After this, a window with the cleaning process will appear in the upper right corner of the desktop.

Once the cleaning is complete, the program will close this window itself.

That's basically it. Sometimes it happens that the firmware crashes and the procedure must be repeated. I don’t consider this a problem, since the whole procedure in real life takes a maximum of 30 seconds. But what a pleasure it is to forget about resetting cartridges.

To reset the waste ink counter of Epson SX125 and SX130, use the program Adjustment Program ver 1.0.1. Actually, it is intended for ME320 and TX121, but SX125 and SX130 are a blast.
