Problems During Installation

If there has been a full set of genuine cartridges installed in the printer prior to installing the new compatible cartridges then a full compatible cartridge replacement may be required if the error message (Cartridge is not compatible) appears

If this error message still appears after this troubleshooting or you don't have a full set of compatible cartridges available please consult the "Problems you might encounter" section below

  • This incompatible cartridge error message appears when the printer detects that there is both genuine and compatible cartridges installed in the printer
  • To do a full genuine to compatible replacement please follow the steps below:
  • 1. Remove all the cartridges currently installed in the printer and turn the printer off. Leave it off for 15 minutes then turn it back on
  • 2. Re-install a full set genuine Epson ink cartridges in the printer - These genuine cartridges can be half full or even empty
  • 3. Once the genuine cartridges have been detected, remove and the replace them with compatible cartridges.
3a. Note: This must be done in one go
