Digital BW, The Print

Well I have decided to go an order the R2400 from Epson, after reviewing 
all the other sites and the prices Epson gives the best deal to a NY 
resident, no tax, no shipping charge and I have not seen the R2400 for 
less than $849. This being said is it on the horzion that QTR and or MIS 
will be supporting this printer soon.  Thanks Anthony

Hello all.
I managed to block my Epson R2400. After I changed a MP for a PK I printed
two sheets and then the cartridge block came to a standstill, two red lights
flickering. I guess the cartridge is to blame but I can¹t get it out.
Question, how do I move the cartridge block to the left manually. There
should be a catch somewhere but I don¹t see or feel it. Advice much
appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Jean.

Jean, this has worked on my r1800 which is a very similar machine:

Turn off the printer

Unplug it

Disconnect the USB Cable

Wait several hours or more.  I find overnight is best, there seems to be a timer in there somewhere.

Make sure the cartridges are firmly seated then plug things back in and restart. 

This seems to cause a general reset.

Thanks for your unique, literally, assistance Robert but it didn¹t help,
sorry to say. I¹ll have to look a bit further than this group.
Greetings.
Jean.

This may be the "required maintenance" signal to change the waste ink pads.  Epson has software on its web page to override it.

I think you maybe mean Epson SSCUtil?

Very unofficial, but useful.

Epson now has utilities to do this for many printers.  So, you don't have to deal with SSC.

That's good.  But again:  are we fine just resetting that counter or must we
eventually get the waste pad replaced?

Hi Jean,
I'm not as versed as some others about the required maintenance  
signal, but can tell you that
the cartridge block can easily be moved to the left, along the track,  
by first turning off the 2400,
then turning it back on. When the cartridges start to move to the  
left as part of the initial
startup, pull the power plug from the wall and leave the power switch  
on. You will now be
able to freely move the cartridges back and forth. This is the method  
I've use many times to
clean the bottom of the carts with soft paper toweling soaked with  
Windex solution.

Hope this helps.
