Re: resetting the 1280

2005-01-02 by Bob Michaels

Actually, the flashing reg and green lights do not mean the ink pad is
full. It only tells you that enough cleaning cycles have been run to
possibly cause a probelm in Epson's conservative estimation. I and
others have just reset the counter and kept on printing for a long
time. I don't have a link to the reset procedure at my fingertips, but
 know it's on the Epson printer list files section. It's just a matter
of pushing the right buttons on the printer, turning it off and back
on. Takes about 15 seconds as I remember.
