A cartridge reset tool is a plastic device with pins that, when inserted into the pinholes on your cartridge, reset the chip inside. The pins on the reset tool must line up with your cartridge's holes, which are on the bottom or side edge.
Different models' cartridges have different numbers and arrangements of pin holes. To find the right chip reset tool, search the web for "Epson cartridge chip reset tool" along with the exact model of your printer e.
Most cartridges have either 7 or 9 pinholes in a cluster. Compare a picture of the pins on the reset tool to the number and arrangement of pinholes on the bottom of your print cartridge before purchasing. If you don't see a cluster of pinholes, look for a small green microchip somewhere on the cartridge—it will either have one single pinhole just above or below it, or two round metal contacts at the top or bottom.
Line up the ink cartridge with the marks displayed at the base of the chip reset tool. Each chip reset tool is uniquely shaped to accommodate ink cartridges from different Epson printer models.
Press the pins on the reset tool firmly into the chip contact holes. The LED on the cartridge tool may blink several times to indicate that a connection is being made. This depends on the reset tool you purchased. Remove the chip reset tool when the LED turns green. Once the light on the reset tool goes solid, you can disconnect the tool. Your Epson ink cartridge chip is now reset and ready for use. Method 2. Locate the pinhole s or contacts on your cartridge. You can use a paper clip to reset your Epson cartridge chip if there's a single pinhole on the small green microchip on the bottom or side of the cartridge.
If there are two round metal contacts at the top or bottom of the chip, you'll actually need two paperclips. If you have a cluster of 7 to 9 pinholes instead, see this method. Straighten out one or two paperclips. The goal is to have about an inch or so of straight-ish paperclip that you can easily insert into the contact hole or two paperclips, if you have dual metal contacts on your cartridge.
Reset a cartridge with one pinhole. Insert the end of the paperclip into the pinhole. Press down gently so the pin lies flat against the metal contact inside for a few seconds, and then remove the paperclip. This should reset your cartridge. Reset a cartridge with two metal contacts. Lay the cartridge on a flat surface so the chip is facing upwards—you'll need both hands to use the two paperclips at the same time.
Then, place the ends of the extended paperclips against the two metal contacts at the same time. Method 3. Remove both the color and black ink cartridges from your Epson printer. If you ran out of either color or black ink and you're in a pinch, you can remove the chip from your other cartridge and insert it into the one that registers as empty. This will trick the "empty" cartridge into thinking it has as much ink as the other cartridge.
This will only work if the chip in the other cartridge is not also out of ink.
