Replacement and Reset of Waste Ink Absorber and Counter of Epson XP-750

[@lemarchandn2369]

Fonctionne sur une XP 520! Tuto assez facile. Mr Marcelli est très réactif pour répondre aux mails. Grand Merci à lui.

Grazie mille! Sei stato utilissimo :)! Per chi leggesse, funziona anche con la XP-530.

[@carolwilliams2799]

Hi Paolo, I just sent you an email asking you for the adjustment program for my XP-800. I took apart the printer, replaced the ink absorb er, put the printer back together following your step by step instructions on the video. I could have NEVER done it without your GREAT easy to follow video. Thank you so much!!

[@rafak3175]

Hi, can you send me these two programs for wXP? Regards, Rafal

[@MervynDG]

Yes, a genuinely great video and commentary but, in addition to the waste tank, my ink system assembly was overflowing and full which was causing smears as the printhead swept across it. This is the mesh and foam strip on the right hand side. It captures the waste ink which is then pumped by a motor through a tube into the waste tank underneath. I decided to replace both as the tank was only 3GBP and the system was 8GBP. Getting access to the system was more challenging and if anyone wants advice PM me and I'm happy to help. I also have the 125 page series 500, 600, 700 and 800 service manual without which I would not have embarked on the project. I'm pleased to report that with new system assembly and tank, the printer is now back running perfect.

[@4144758]

Generous offer my friend.

[@4144758]

I could certainly use that 800 service manual as well. If you ever see this pls email my Google email at my username 🍻

[@lionelwiseman5854]

Thank you Paulo, brilliant video. I have an Epson XP-760 and your instructions worked perfectly. I bought an Epson adjustment disc on-line for my XP-760 first, which worked flawlessly resetting the inkpad counter (the free versions would not work for this printer). Once that was successful completed, I then following your instructions to get to the inkpads. Just a thought for anyone to do with cleaning the inkpads. Like you, I washed mine, as you described and gently squeezed them to get the final amount of ink out. But then, I put them back into clean water and let them swell up with water again. Without further squeezing, I pulled them out of the bowl (dripping away!) and carefully spread them out on wads of newspaper to drain and sun-dry. (It is unusually very hot today in the UK, it took no time at all!) After drying, (unlike yours) they were “plump”, with (like yours), a small amount of discolour, but other than that almost like new, plump such that they filled the ink pad container almost as before! I did not bother to use any other chemical cleaners as I surmised that they were good enough to go back in. Without your video, looking at your flattened pads, I would not have thought to not squeeze the water out. It probably makes no difference as they would no doubt soon swell up with waste ink anyway!

[@mjpeternel]

Absolutely awesome! I ordered a new ink reservoir with ink pads after I watched this video, from Amazon. If I can do this, you can do this. Just watch step by step, it’s perfect! I did spend the $9.99 on the WIC reset program, which also worked great! Thank you, thank you! Fixed my printer for less then $30!

[@dangerousdriving9227]

Out of curiosity, what was the model/part number for the replacement in pad and where did you manage to purchase them from? Thanks.

[@mjpeternel]

[@bobhickman2991]

Just followed your info, was able to get to the waste absorbers. My main issue was that the mini tank under the print head was not draining down to the storage absorbers. Used a needle plunger and forced liquid up the drain. Was able to clear the drain so the excess ink will now drain down to the storage absorbers. Thanks for the info and video. Did the trick.

[@PaoloMarcelli]

Thank you for watching :)

[@johndonaldson5126]

Very informative. My 850 printer works perfectly but needed cleaning. it was leaving black streaks on printouts. I didn't want to throw the printer away because it is a great little (slow) printer. Thank you so much for taking the time to make this video. Your English is great too.

[@63artemisia63]

Had been feeling a little nervous about doing this but, after watching this excellent step-by-step video, I feel assured that a mere mortal such as myself can do what needs to be done. Thanks 👏🏾👏🏽👏🏼

Good job :)

Paolo Marcelli Did you get my email about resetting the counter? I hope you can tell me how ;o)

[@PaoloMarcelli]

@@63artemisia63 Unfortunately it's illegal to re-distribute these softwares, they are confidential! The safest way is to use WIC Reset, it's not free though, it's like 9.99$ for a single time reset I think!

Paolo Marcelli Thanks! I’ll look for it online. 👋

[@philipjohns1502]

Thanks for doing this , I almost binned it until I saw your tutorial I really didn’t want to replace it as it’s the best printer I’ve ever had, again many thanks.

[@joeduch5368]

Instructions were accurate and easy to follow. It took me less than 15 minutes to complete the swap. Thanks, Joe.

[@digitalpixel2010]

Buonasera Paolo, ho utilizzato ancora la procedura e ha funzionato egregiamente, sempre grazie del TUO prezioso aiuto.

[@PaoloMarcelli]

Ottimo :)

[@chaotictoad335]

thank you so much! 🤝 I didn’t want to throw away my old xp-530 because of such minor problem. Not only waste of money, but also bad for ecology. I’ve bought new pad on Amazon, and used WIC utility for reset. 😁👍

[@danielemelis5205]

you're a great one! I tried the procedure on an Epson XP-850 setting the compatibility of the 2 programs on Windows XP. The only thing different from your video is that I had to select both the options in the "Check & Initialization" menu, ie "Main pad counter" and "Platen pad counter" because otherwise the latter was not reset. Thank you!

[@SonicConstruction]

I must say very through guide and nicely narrated, so well done!! :) I've got my waste tray out and have cleaned all the sponges with gloves. There was a hole in one glove, so I now have black finger but clean sponges :D

[@PaoloMarcelli]

Ink stained fingers are the sign of a printer technician in the early days :)

[@NediTube]

Thanks for the video. I just rolled the old pads dry. After rolling their weight was 70 % less than before rolling. That is enough.

[@PaoloMarcelli]

Thank you :) Yeah I think it should be fine!

[@TheSpotify95]

Great tutorial and how to guide :) Should stop people from throwing their printers out when they are still fine! One thing to note. The original pads/sponges can be cleaned almost fully and you can re-use them. You have to run them under the tap (at a low pressure) until they are completely clean - in my experience, this takes about 15-20 minutes per small section. (I reset and cleaned an Epson BX625FWD, which was actually easier to open than this - just one screw.)

[@PaoloMarcelli]

Hi! I hope, one of the reasons why I make these videos is to avoid or better reduce waste :) Note that different printers often uses different kinds of absorbing pads, the ones of the BX625FWD should be a bit easier than the ones of the XP-750 and similar ;)

[@andersmattson4749]

Thanks a lot for this! Excellent step-by-step instructions. I now have a working printer again!!!

[@pamdaverice385]

Hi, have just completed this sequence on an XP-750 Unlike most videos is was exactly correct in every detail. I watched the video a number of times before I decided to go ahead. I was in two minds as to whether to attempt it. Fact is, it all went perfectly, Brilliant video, thanks so much

[@arturjaskiewicz9585]

Dziękujemy.

[@PaoloMarcelli]

Thank you so much!

[@RonAldo-kb9np]

Paolo is the real deal - it worked on my XP-800. A few clarifications. (1) You need a direct USB connection between the PC and the printer - ethernet via a modem/hub will not work. If you need a USB check out Amazon - Monoprice puts out an excellent product at prices no store can touch. 4 bucks for a 6 foot USB (free shipping with Prime) - what's better than than that ? (2) The software that Paulo used - email him for it. Both the Epson Adjustment Program and the Unlocker are in the Zip file. I recommend using WinZip to unzip - it's a personal preference as I'm used to that application. 7 Zip (the native program) not so much. (3) Epson Adjustment program and the Unlocker worked in Windows 7 for me - no need for Windows XP compatibility mode. (5) "Destination" field below the model name was enabled in the drop down menu for me - I chose "Euro" and it worked. (4) Cleaning the pads is not easy - I got new ones via eBay. OEM Epson Waste Ink Assembly (For: XP-720, XP-800, XP-721, XP-810, XP-820, XP-615) - $16.99 and free shipping. Assembly and new filter pads - fit perfectly. Summary: it cost me about $22 (USB cable, new pads) including US tax in materials and very little sweat equity by following this video to get my printer going again. Grazie - ciao!

[@benandrews5809]

Excellent and easy to follow tutorial. Paolo was super helpful when i got stuck as I hadnt read the comment about emailing him for the program. He was a star and everything ended well with a working printer. Thank you.

[@PaoloMarcelli]

Hi! If you can't find an adjustment program easily you can use WIC Reset. It's not free, costs around 10$ but it's safer and waaay easier

[@christianhgjuul793]

THannk you very much...you´re the best👍

[@NB-lp3bj]

Terrific job, thank you. I can confirm that this worked on Epson XP-530 printer. 1) Downloaded 'wicreset.exe' from printerkeys.com. 2) Turned printer off & on, then clicked 'Read waste counter(s) in the wicreset utility. It confirmed that it could read the value of the waste ink pad counter. 3) Paid $7.86 USD to printerkeys.com using Paypal. The necessary code for the wicreset utility appeared straightaway after paying, I didn't have to wait for an email. 4) Clicked 'Reset waste counter(s)', pasted in the code. 5) Turned printer off & on, printer back to normal. 6) Followed the steps to remove the ink pads and washed them in the sink, they ran with black ink for ages. Put printer back together, all OK. I found it was a good idea to Sellotape the flap of the printer with the little screen in it to the printer before turning the printer sideways, otherwise the flap fell off and strained its ribbon cable. Once again great job ADCSFXworks. Shame Epson live chat help don't mention you. Saved 'fixed price repair of £118+VAT GBP' according to Epson live chat help. Writing a letter to the chief of Epson Europe to say how much better it would be if the waste pads were an easily user removable and replaceable part. How much better it would be, if instead of a lurking nasty surprise, it was a consumer and environment friendly selling point.

[@PaoloMarcelli]

Hi Phil! I'm happy you found my video useful, but if you contacted me you could've done that with the adjustment program, unlike wicreset it's free (well, sort of, it's a confidential software, but I can give you that!) Consider that Epson gives the possibility to replace the ink waste pads to the end users only on a very limited and highly professional grade machines, but sure it would be great to do the same thing on the "home" printers :)

[@NB-lp3bj]

Thanks for your reply. I was with a customer on-site and that was the reason for using printerkeys. I would rather have used something free and not having to pay. Once again great job ADCSFXworks.

[@bigmoney66b]

@@PaoloMarcelli WICResetter is a rip off, they charge a hefty price to get you reset keys I would definitely not want to use that. You keep telling people to e-mail you but nobody here is receiving any reply to e-mails.

[@TheSpotify95]

WIC Reset is not a rip off, it's only £10 (or less!) and makes the printer work again :). It also supports a larger variety of printers compared to other tools - so it's much more likely to be compatible. I saved an Epson BX625FWD from the dump by resetting it via WIC :)

[@Cinders2001]

Hi! I too have a 530. I can’t use it because of the message. I’m contemplating trying this method to rescue my printer. But... my operating system is Linux based. So I don’t think I can do the reset part. Unless you or anyone reading this knows different. Hoping I can though as I really like this little printer.

[@TheBrighton100]

Absolutely Brilliant!!!!! Very easy to follow. Thank you sooo much. I used WIR to reset. Type in Waste ink reset. download programme for free and type Trial in the key. Up and running.

[@PaoloMarcelli]

Yup! It works but it brings the counter to 90% not 0%, so it will be locked again in a few cleaning cycles :) It's good anyway because you can keep printing for a while maybe after you get an urgent document to print.

I was completely puzzled when I got the message displayed on the printer. your videohas really been helpful, i could manage the hardware part very easily for my XP-850. Very similar to the XP-750. Cleaning the pads with rubbing alcohol ( methylated spirit) worked very fine for me. Am a bit lost on the sofware part right now, but will dig a bit more into it as a side remark, I saw a comment from an a**hole regarding your English... am French and can only praise you for making a video in English to help a wider community. Ben fatto !

Hi! Thanks for everything you said, if you need the software send me an email and I'll send you a link to download it safely. Paolo M.

[@TheSpotify95]

Thanks for such a helpful video. I used this to find the ink pads in an Epson XP-605 printer. Not as simple as other printers I've rescued,but still fairly accessible with just a screwdriver. The software I used (WIC Reset, costs £5 per key) informed me that the main pad was at 100.99%, no wonder why it failed.

[@donb3557]

Bravo! How you managed one handed and with your video I just don’t know😂 but your video is excellent and so very helpful. Thankyou from UK.

[@caineshaw9317]

Great video, well done, but I think I will put some compression on the sponges with an absorbent layer to dry them, it means they will retain their shape, probably just wash and spin in the washing machine... Thanks again, sorted a wee pigment printer out...

[@marcwizard8749]

Here's a Tip to extract more Ink out of the Pads after soaking in Hot Water And Detergent: Simply Lay each pad separately on a Flat Surface, and use a roller ( I used a 1" piece of scrap PVC pipe) to slowly squeeze all the liquid out of it. You'll need to do this a few times as suggested, but this will speed the ink & water removal plus drying time is less. And when cleaning up, you'll likely still get INK on your skin which can be difficult to remove, and I found diluted laundry bleach + Water will act as a cleaning solvent.

[@PaoloMarcelli]

Thanks for sharing your experiences :)

[@nicolebernshaw6645]

Your video is most useful. Unfortunately, I have a Mac and therefore the only thing I can do is the manual work, the cleaning and replacement of the pads. The process is so simple. It truly irritates me that I was told to replace my printer because it would cost me as much to repair it (change the pads) as to purchase a new printer. What a racket! Thanks for the education.

[@PaoloMarcelli]

Hi Nicole If you have a Mac you can download softwares like Parallels Desktop or vmware, these softwares allow you to install a virtual machine that you can run into a separate window, that means you can use a fully operational Windows XP virtual machine inside a window! It's really simple, just download the Windows XP iso file (disk image) and follow the instructions to install it (vmware have an auto-install feature that will install it for you). After you've done that install the printer driver on the virtual machine and connect it. Then load the adjustment program and reset it ;)

[@nicolebernshaw6645]

Now I see why I was spending so much money on ink. The pads were so heavy that I had the impression that their construction was very sturdy. In the pad washing process, I ended up tearing one pad and losing it down the drain. You would not know the Epson order number for the pads by any chance? By the way, the thumb-up is meant for your reply, not mine. ;-) I goofed up.

[@PaoloMarcelli]

Unfortunately I don't have an Epson order number, but on ebay there are several sellers who sell this www.ebay.com/itm/142112493904 Remember, ink is wasted whenever you run a cleaning cycle or you leave the printer off for a long time, the best thing to do to reduce ink consumption and problems with the waste ink pads is print something every week, even a nozzle check!

I have finally replaced the ink pads with new one. The message that "the ink pads have reached the end of their service life" still shows on the printer screen. Epson insists that the printer has to be replaced. I cannot accept this verdict. I have not gone this far to give up now. If I understand you correctly, the steps to bring my printer back to life are, in the following order: 1. Download Parallels Desktop 2. Download Windows XP iso file - where do I find it? 3. Install the printer driver on the virtual machine - do I go to the Epson website for this? 4. Connect the printer - I assume I simply power it. Otherwise, I have WiFi through an Xfinity router. 5. Load (or download?) the adjustment program - where do I find it? 6. Reset the printer counter - following your instructions on your Utube video DO I HAVE IT RIGHT? I want to make sure I have all my ducks in a row before I start. This process is like Chinese to me. I am open to downloading a Windows virtual machine on my Mac for the purpose of "fixing" my printer. However, I do NOT want to keep it. Is there an easy way to uninstall it?

If you still wasn't able to fix it then you can use WIC Reset Utility - this works on Mac as well Reset keys are very cheap - better than a new printer :).

Thankyou for your instructive video. Instead of cleaning the filters I have stuffed the box with cotton stuffings. Now I need a software to reset the counter. I have a MAC with software 10.15.2 Catalina. Do you have any suggestions where I can find this software ?

I understand Paolo sent the program to you and I’m hoping you might be willing to pass it on please? If you would be so kind, please message me and I’ll provide my email address. Many thanks.

I followed the steps on the video and cleaned and dried the ink pads, it went perfectly well. I had to buy the Epson 760 Adjustment Program ($ 5.85). I don't get this to work, program key is missing. I've called for it, but can't get an answer. Do you have a solution for me?

[@jean-lucpotart4069]

Thanks a lot, it's very useful and it works fine with my Epson XP-830.

[@Kwekusa]

Thanks. I am having a problem with my XP800 and is this pad issue a problem with all Epson Printers? I use canon for ages and never encounter this issue. Please where can I get the adjustment program file?

[@PaoloMarcelli]

Hi! This is a problem that involves every inkjet printer, they all have pads inside that collect waste ink, you can even see it by yourself typing ex. Canon waste ink pads full. For the adjprog write me an email, you find the address in the video description. Paolo M.
