Detect Ink Label OFF instructions (was Empty (Virgin) Carts for the 7500)

You can turn off the cartridge ID sensor in the 7500 so it will take "non Epson" cartridges. I have done this with both my 9500's. You need to get into MAINTENANCE MODE 2 on the 9000 you press the Paper Source, Cut/Eject and Paper Feed Down buttons while turning on the printer (hold all 3 buttons down at the same time while powering on) - these buttons may be different on the 7000 though When the menu comes up it should show INIT ALL press PAPER SOURCE button until you see DETECT INK LABEL ON press PAPER FEED DOWN and the message should read DETECT INK LABEL OFF press ENTER Power off printer Power on printer and you should be able to use any cartridge, 7000 or 9000 size in your printer. I use 3rd party cartridges on one of my 9500 printers and a CIS on the other. And if you haven't already, you may like to join the Epson 9000 mailing list, over 1000 members strong, with discussion geared towards the Epson wide format printers 7xxx, 8xxx, 9xxx, and 10000 series.
