GiE11 0 Report post Posted May 22, 2018 I have done the downgrade my SC-P600 to chipless mode. Almost everything works fine but at the first print after I have switched off/on the printer I get an error message that the cartridges can not get recognized. I have to open/close the cartridge box so that the printer recognize the cartridges again and start the print. The status of the cartridges shows 100% full. Is there any solution so that I can print after switchting off/on the printer without any error? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Asarniento 0 Report post Posted May 25, 2018 We have purchased the "FIRMWARE KEY for WIC Reset Uility", for use in an Epson P-600 but it does not work. We did the procedure according to the video https://www.wic.support/epson-sc-p600-no-inks-firmware-how-to-change-firmware- a -chipless /. The ink levels in the printer panel remain the same, there is no change. During the firmware update there was no problem, everything seemed fine. We try to do the procedure again and it tells us that the key has already been used. What should we do?. The firmware version that was finally installed on the printer was: AT13H613 / 06/2017.

GiE11 0 Report post Posted May 29, 2018 The Problem is that the printer beeps and Shows the error message that the cartridges could not get recognized at every first print after powering off the printer. As soon I open and close the cartridge case the cartridges get recognized again and the printer prints out correctly. (see Pictures) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GiE11 0 Report post Posted June 4, 2018 I have just found an article that describes my problem. The solution my be to put the SC-P600 printer in service mode before installing tehe ink firmware. I really would like to try that. Would it be possible for you to reset my key one more time so that I can try the installation in service mode? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

John_Admin 390 Report post Posted January 9, 2019 If You can't make firmware downgrade by WIC utility - it means Your printer has newest Main board version. Epson made some changed in new main board. The solution in this case is here: Use Activation Keys and License.exe application for P600 - http://www.2manuals.com/product_info.php?cPath=107&products_id=1850 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JAD 0 Report post Posted January 28, 2019 I did th chipless update for the epson sc p600 as instucted above but there appears to be no change to my printer, ink levels do not show 100% and will not work without chips. The download and install showed sucessful on WIC reset. The only thing I can think of is that the printer turn its self off after firmware update and after a minute I turned it back on. Does this sound correct? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wic.support 31 Report post Posted February 9, 2019 Enzo, I could not tell for sure, sometimes Epson blocks older firmware versions in the new parties on the loader level. Unfortunately in can not be tested beforehand. elpik, please, select `support > send error report` in the main menu of the WIC, this will send application logs on the sever and I will check them.

Stephanie 0 Report post Posted December 3, 2019 I purchased the license and ran through the procedure and it got to the point where it was sending the firmware to my printer and then it turned off. It didn't come back on on its own after 5 minutes, so I turned it on and the ink levels are still reading at various amounts and not the 100%. My license does show as used, but I need to know if it can be reset so I can try again. I'm not sure what I did wrong. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wic.support 31 Report post Posted December 4, 2019 Good day. Unfortunately, this particual version of the firmware has been blocked for your device either during manufacturing or via recent official firmware update. You need to use firmware from chipless solutions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
