If this printer only had a waste pad that the user could replace - like the 3800 and higher - they could keep running for a long time.
#SSC SERVICE UTILITY EPSON 1390 INSTALL#
The other day I had to use the SSC Utility to reset the printer myself. Resetter All Espon : SSC Service Utility Cara install SSC Service Utility Instal Software SSC Service Utility kilik 2x, klik yes klik next check/tandai 'I accept the agreement' klik next klik next klik install klik finish pastikan Driver printer sudah terinstall, dan printer terhubung ke komputer dalam keadaan ON (hidup) pilih/klik kolom. I usually try to clean the pad before I start an important print. I have to use paper towels to remove up all the ink that builds up there or it ends up depositing it on the bottom of the print head. It fills the same pads and doesn't get cleared by the waste pump. The problem is the head cleaning pad at the left of the printer. But it has been working fine for over a year - having gone through more than 20 ink cartridges. It was a trial and error process (with more than a little mess) to find the right size tubing and make a tight connection. I was able to buy tubing and used a grocery store salad container to build my own waste ink tank. The first time it did a head cleaning ink ran out the front of the printer. I purchased a used R2400 that looked fine, but ended up having been reset once, so the pads were full.
#SSC SERVICE UTILITY EPSON 1390 UPGRADE#
Should I replace the ink pads and if so where can I get new ones? Or should I install a waste ink system like the one Ink Republic sells? Or is it time to upgrade (I've been eyeing the 3880)? After running the Epson reset utility, this was reported having a current value of 10,383 and a max value of 17,772. The waste ink capacity is measured by something called the protection counter. Five of my cartridges reported between 11K - 14K ink shots. Running the utility gave me some sense of the "mileage" on the printer, something called "ink shots" which are reported by cartridge. I ran across this utility which allows you to access printer information: The Epson support tech suggested I search the web for DIY instructions. I haven't had to perform many nozzle checks (other than those automatically performed when changing cartridges) and perhaps 20% of my prints are borderless. My understanding is that the ink pads are used for nozzle checks and for borderless printing.
The pads directly under the print head when it is at rest looked fine. I examined the pads, and the pads on the left side (standing in front of the printer) were saturated and overflowing. I downloaded the utility and was able to get my printer working again.
A call to Epson (on Saturday) diagnosed the problem as likely being related to the ink pads reaching the end of their useful life. Yesterday, after changing a cartridge, it stopped working. I have an Epson four year old R2400 that has been regularly used.
