Default ink lights are glowing

Good morning,

i got the t-jet 3 now. I changed the clogged printhead an spended new in cartriges. I filled up the whole bulk system with new ink. Now most of the ink lights are on. I already replaced the cartriges. Some lights went of some are still on and sometimes a new light is flashing.

I`m really confused!

What do I wrong???

Is one of the t-jet3 experienced members living here in virginia beach, who could introduce me?? I serve German Beer ;-)

regards
helmuth

- are there new drivers available??




(sorry for my bad english!)

did you put in the sensors under the cartridges? I can't remember what they are called. They are gray and go under the ink cartridges. Are all the ink lights on? Is it different each time you reboot the printer?

Hello,
all ink cardriges have their own chip. Itīs crazy... some lights are shining and when I replace ( put out an in again) those, other ink lamps start shining. some are still shining. But not all lamps are shining!

Is there one in Virginia beach who may help me??
regards
helmuth

Smile Re: ink lights are glowing

If you are using the original t-jet 3 ink cartridges you probably have a bad chip block. You can try to take a eraser and rub on the chips to clean them, sometimes that works. If it does not I recommend ordering the ez pro system from equipment zone. I use to own 2 t-jet 3's and the system works wonders.

Have you tried turning off completely your printer, removing and reinserting your cartridges, and then powering back on the printer? Also, check that your machine is not showing a full waste ink tank.

I would recommend the EZPro bulk. It is far superior to the original.

I would contact equipmentzone. I know your bulk ink system has a warranty.

Hello,
i got the new ink cartriges from EZ. I primed them and placed them into the Printer. I switched the power on and.......there are still 2 ink lights shining.
I tryed everything!
I cleaned up the contacts, changed the place of the cartriges and prayed.
I really don't know how to let the machine work for me?!
I read something about a metall bridge who fix the "low ink" lights. Did one know something about that bridge and where can i buy this?
Is this problem fixable with a computer program?

regards
Helmuth
