new r220 / mis ut-r2 - printer doesn't recognize cartridge?

new r220 / mis ut-r2 - printer doesn't recognize cartridge?

2006-04-11 by brianechapman

Hey, I've got a problem and hope someone can help.  

I just received my MIS UT-R2 inks and R220 printer.  I followed the
installation instructions but when I closed the ink cover after
installing the R2 inks - nothing happened.  The power light contined
flashing and the red ink light was solid.  

It seems to me the most likely thing is that the printer doesn't
recognize the cartridges.  I haven't yet tried it with the epson
cartridges because I wanted to sell them...

Anyone got any ideas? 

Brian

Turn the printer off, and then back on.  If you get the message that a cart is not installed, it is not making correct contact with the chip.  A gentle cleaning of the chip made some difference. Or, remove and reinsert the cart.
   
  If you get the message that it doesn't recognize the cart type, it will probably print anyway.
   
  I had similar problems.   Removing and reseating the carts helped in some cases.  In the end, it all works fine.

Re: [Digital BW] new r220 / mis ut-r2 - printer doesn't recognize cartridge?

2006-04-11 by brianechapman

The problem is the Yellow cartridge (I sacraficed the Epson inks...) -
the printer operates correctly with the MIS cartridges in all
positions except for Yellow.

If it's most likely the chip I can swap out the chip on the epson
cartridge with the MIS cartridge...it doesn't look that
difficult...has anyone done this?  Is there any other reason why the
cartridge wouldn't work?  

Thanks, Brian

I just installed the MIS set a couple of weeks ago in my new 220.  And 
yes,  I also set the printer up with the MIS B&W cartridges.  
Everything went smoothly.

Perhaps you might want to call MIS.  Maybe they will swap your yellow 
cartridge.  Switching the chip does sound like an idea,  have you done 
this before?

Good Luck

Mike

Firstly, the BO option works and as expected produces excellent 
results - thanks to everyone who has published so much helpful 
info!!!

Mike, I'll give MIS a call this morning - from what I've read on 
their support site, etc, the problem is almost certainly the chip.  
I'll give a couple other things a try (shim the cartridge) to see if 
I can get the chip to work otherwise I'll probably try replacing it.

Thanks! 

Brian
