Epson WF-3620 / WF-3640 Waste Ink Counter Explained (Maintenance Cartridge Chip System)

Fri, 10 Apr 2026 06:36:24 +0000

Unlike many Epson printers where the waste ink pad counter can be reset using tools like the Adjustment Program or WIC Reset Utility, the Epson WF-3620 and WF-3640 models handle this differently. These printers do not store the waste ink counter inside the printer firmware. Instead, the counter is embedded in an IC chip located on a separate Maintenance Cartridge (waste ink box). Once the cartridge reaches its limit, the system will not allow further printing, and the only solution is to replace the entire maintenance cartridge with a new one that includes a fresh IC chip.

XP-65 (EU) Wic Reset Support - printer report fail

Thu, 17 Apr 2025 13:43:44 +0000

Hiya,

Been trying for over a year now to create a report and enable even basic functions inside WIC RESET for the XP-65 Printer which is identical to the XP-55 Printer just different firmware and already supported however even with the previous 2024 version of wic reset or even the new 2025 update I still can't create a report to get it included for reset options,I have been asking Lisa on live chat since acquiring the printer but I'm getting nowhere And now the printer is overflowed and sat gathering dust.

I also have other printers that are not supported and can't create a report for it currently so I need the programmers help or other solutions.

Can you start supplying the FULL Adjustment programs again for situations like this as cut down versions seem pointless where Wic is not supported,I'm not sure on another trusted source like yourself to buy these from.

Kind Regards

C5290 LAN and Maintenance Box Problem - Need updated firmware?

Wed, 17 Apr 2024 14:36:49 +0000

Hello. I have 2 C5290 printers. The older one works perfectly with chipless firmware CT14I9, but the newer one has problems with LAN and Maintenance Box.

LAN port doesn`t work. Link is not established with the switch. Updating original Epson firmware makes LAN port work, so maybe the printer has a newer hardware incompatible with this older chipless firmware.

The Maintenance Box level doesn't go down, I don't need a maintenance box chip resetter in that printer, something that doesn't happen in the older model, where maintenance box level lowers over time, as it should.

I was wondering if you could make a newer chipless firmware for C5290 model, so I can use LAN on both printers.

Thank you.

Epson ET 4750 (known also as L6190) stuck in "Printer Inspection mode" please help

Sat, 17 Feb 2024 14:11:32 +0000

Hello, everyone!

I had received two heaviliy clogged Epson ET-4750 -s (known also as L6190 in some parts of world) printers from Germany. First one was not printing at all, second one prints only black.

I wanted to replace ET2720 with which I am very happy 3 years (installed outer waste ink bottle) but wanted to replace it only for the lack of ADF and automatic duplex.

I was physically trying to unclog the first ET-4750 (like shown here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XkiUcoywbd )

But after 4 power cleanings pages still came out completely white an the capacity of the brand new bought maintenance box was nearly its end so I was going the method shown above, then a few hours of struggle it started printing very badly in color but still not in black, and the moment I was going to detach printerhead to clean it off the printer it went into this Fax testing mode and then on next day it booted into printer inspection mode.

What I did since then:

- downloaded Recovery firmware from epson.com (available only there, not in eposon.co.uk or Epson.de or epson.bg) to try to reflash it but unfortunately at step 5 the setup doesn't recognize the machine connected to the PC via USB cable (the second machine which starts normal is recognized via the same cable and it says it will downgrade instead of upgrade firmware). Firmwares on both machines are the same.

- I tried to install the drivers and Epson printer package for ET 4750, at the step where it asks to connect the printer and choose between Ethernet, USB cables and WiFi, I choose USB cable and it recognizes it and goes to next step of setup, so it is recognized via USB cable, but not via the recovery firmware. WIC utility also recognizes it as 4750.

- I have backed up the EEPROM from the working machine and tried to restore it on the faulty one via Wic reset utility v5.90 but no matter what I try to do on the faulty printer Wic utility goes not responding until I unplug the USB cable or turn off the printer.

- there is a Printer Adjustment program for this model here:

https://www.2manuals.com/product_info.php?products_id=1886

But I am not sure it will work in restoring the EEPROM from the other machine on the faulty one as WIC reset utility already went not responding a few times trying to do it. I don't know any other way to reflash the EEPROM, you tell me if you know one please! I am newbie in reflashing printer firmwares.

Lisa, the chat support of 2manuals told me to go to Epson service center instead of everything else. Epson phone Hotline is useless, they care only about the the serial number and my name, they were most important then they simply sent me to service center, no help from them. From the service center they told me after everything I've tried the bill to replace motherboard, clogged printer head and do some software settings installations will be over 400 Euro, which is ridiculous like the price of a new machine. They also told me cleaning the print head is non effective and with a temporary effect, sometimes after it is getting even worse.

- there is some solution particularly for going out of printer inspection mode at:

https://www.2manuals.com/online/knowledgebase.php?entry=show&search-for=inspection+mode+&etc=IzQwNzhjNw__&article=YzFmYTQ1NTNhODkxNGRjYmEzZTk1ZmJiOTQxMTljMTk_

But Lisa the chat support didn't explain me how it works and I was unable to find the option to leave inspection mode in WIC reset utility v5.90. Maybe the option was available in earlier version of Wic reset utility which I don't have?

- There is a video from Kevin from BCH here:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0XsIjxn3rzk

for the ET 15000 model that looks very similar to ET4750 explaining that there is some 5 digit code that if you know and enter in the screen with "up", "shift" and "fin" on it it may recover your printer back to normal but I don't have this code and Epson phone support said it doesn't work on my model.

Kevin also says the EEPROM of this model ET 15000 is reflashed only taken off the printer. Is it the same for ET 4750?

The local Bulgarian service center didn't tell me anything about reflashing the EEPROM, they said in a situation where printer loses connectivity like mine they directly replace the motherboard.

So is there any solution for me different than disposing this machine? How may I reflash the EEPROM or get the printer out of inspection mode?

Do you also have any working solution of heavily clogged ET 4750?

Thanks in advance to everyone giving me some working solution!

PS:Btw the power cleaning option of WIC reset utility was also unable to make the second ET 4750 print more than the page in black on the last image. So does the Printer adjusment program reach better results regarding cleaning and writing/restoring EEPROMs on faulty machines than the Wic reset utility?

I am expecting a resetter for maintenance box for this model to be able to use regularly the cleaning options of the machine, but if I don't manage to make at least one of this machines work it will be useless spent money.

epson WF-5620 error 0xEA , jammed belt , after chipless firmware ink charge

Fri, 29 Oct 2021 08:52:29 +0000

I succesfully installed the chipless firmware to my epson WF 5620. It worked.

The quality of the print after that was very bad (the ink cartidges are new), so I chose clean head, and after that the Ink charge option.

After that the printer when it boots it does a sound (from the belt inside ) and it produces error 0xEA on red screen.

I installed another firmware (older that I had downloaded earlier) but it happens the same thing after boot. I think the ink charge broke it.

What should I do?

Epson WF-C579R (No Lan) after code activation

Mon, 26 Feb 2024 05:52:15 +0000

I am writing to inform you about an issue I encountered following the purchase of a chipless activation code for my Epson C579R printer.

After successfully updating the firmware and activating the code, I noticed that the LAN network connection is not functioning. Despite my attempts to troubleshoot the problem, I have been unable to resolve the issue.

I would greatly appreciate it if you could provide guidance or assistance in rectifying this matter at your earliest convenience.

Thank you for your attention to this concern. I look forward to your prompt response.

Can I print from "chipless" P800 and regular P800 after disabling Epson processes and solutions?

Tue, 03 Sep 2024 21:43:00 +0000

I'm about to convert my #1 P800 to piezopro ink set using the chipless option, but want to keep using my regular #2 P800 and 3880.

The instructions for the "chipless" solution say to "disable all Epson processes and services". I'm thinking if I do that, then things like the Epson status monitor will not work, and I may not be able to print using my 2 other printers. Can I run a "chipless" printer (using QTR for printing) and regular 3880s or P800s (using the Epson software for printing) from the same computer? Can I print from both?

Or should I enable the "Epson processes and services" after I get the piezo converted P800 running, since I'll be using QTR for printing, not the Epson software?

Epson wf-7830 initial flag off

Sat, 22 Oct 2022 16:07:38 +0000

Hello readers and forum techs, i have an epson wf-7830 printer that has given 2 weeks of headache now. I will try my best to describe the genesis of everything.

Initially the printer was installed with ciss and worked perfect. But during transportation, ink spill in the printer head contacts with fcc cable. Few visible burns were present. But i trimmed the fcc and cleaned the printer head contacts. Ofcourse the fuse in the board was broken and i replaced it with another fuse. However by the time the printer was brought fo me, the fuse had been looped. I removed the loop and put a good fuse.

Now when i connected back everything, the printer goes on in several different ways.

First, it opens in printer inspection mode, there is a list of the inspections. After i tried all of them, an error 031006 appears. Indicating that fuse is broken but in actual sense the fuse is not broken. The below image 001 shows how the printer screen appears .

Secondly, the printer may as well come on with a screen for fax test mode as in image 1 then after a short while the screen turns to as shown in image 2. With a warning to press on button then a red screen appears saying flag check. Initial flag off and inspection flag on as shown in figure 3.

My 2 geatest concerns here are the error code 031006 which signifies fuse is open and is not. I removed same head and installed in epson wf 3820, which appears to be the A4 version of wf-7830, and finished all initial checks to home screen and ready to print. So apart from fuse, ffc cables and head, or main board, what else could cause error 031006? Point to note is that when i turn on the printer in service mode, and select special inspection, the error that comes is 031004, but normal mode or normal inspection brings the 031006 error.

Secondly, could lal this trouble be caused by failure of the printer not being initialized, then how do you initialize, i have failed all attempts to get its firmware online. And the firmware displayed by wic tool is CB03L8.

Please members assist me how i can have this printer working again.

Thanks in advance.

Epson WF-C5290 Epson Printer ROM - Program Update Mode

Sun, 23 Jun 2024 10:46:08 +0000

Hello Admin,

Is there a way to exit "Program Update Mode" I performed several Firmware Update - the old, the latest FW from Epson support website and the chipless firmware- but of no luck, I got the same status when I turn on the printer "Program Update Mode".

This is what I've done from this LCD screen every time I turned on the printer

USB port detected on WIC software

but not on Firmware Update software

but if I press STOP+Arrow Down+Arrow Left+Power button the Firmware Software able to detect the USB port

then I can continue with the Firmware update

after finishing the update, this screen appeared with all lights blinking, then back to the start

I also tried the recovery mode, that perform unplugging of power cable to corrupt the file written on the motherboard. same result

What should I do to recover my printer to work again.

Thank you in advance!!!
