Windows 7 : Adjustment utilities

Epson Intel, IPR - Ink Pad Reset 16.01.2010 No Comments

As with Vista, Windows 7 will not run most adjustment utilities without some help.

This approach is currently untested as my Win7 machine is currently down for repair but hopefully it will prove useful and work…

Compatibility Mode – Windows 7

Note: In most cases you will want to run the program in Windows XP SP2 or SP3 mode

If anyone manages to successfully use their adjustment utility/utilities on Windows 7 using this or another approach please do post a comment with any tips

I will update this guide once my own Win7 machine is back up and working

Some Paid Resetters unlocked

IPR - Ink Pad Reset 13.11.2009 No Comments

Over the past few months there’s been a slow increase in the number of complaints and gripes about the fact that the only way to reset many of the newest printer models is to purchase the official adjustment utilities from stores like 2manuals.com or via one or two sites based in South America

The biggest complaint has been in relation to the way that the software has been locked down to specific computer hardware and a few people have hit problems when one or more components failed and had to be replaced. Usually this means the reset utility will no longer work…

Software safety : Resetters

General, IPR - Ink Pad Reset 18.10.2009 1 Comment

I had an object lesson and reminder about software security today when someone posted up a series of links to adjustment utilities for printers that a lot of you are looking for (ie: TX100, TX200, TX400, T10).

A post on the SSCLG forum (the authors of the SSC utility) promised a number of “hacked” utilities that bypass the security built into the newer adjustment utilities for printers like the RX690 or T30.

New Mod Guides for October 2009

Epson 17.10.2009 No Comments
With the baby due any day now I decided to get some more work done while I still could so I’m happy to announce the addition of the D92 waste ink modification guide

This guide also covers a LOT of other printers available in Russia, Asia and elsewhere, specifically these models:
- C79
- C90, C91, C92
- D78
- D92
- S20, S21
- T10, T11
- T20, T21, T23, T26, T27
Resetters are available for many of these models and I suspect many will be compatible with the C90 resetter so if anyone has these models and is will to try, please let me know if you have any success

[Octoink] QuickFind update

General 13.10.2009 No Comments

I discovered to my horror that the QuickFind tool on OctoInkjet was broken by some updates and upgrades I applied to the code over Sunday and Monday.

I’ve now figured out what I did wrong and why I didn’t notice sooner so it should be working properly now

Apologies for the SNAFU, but it seems the words “update” or “upgrade” seem to mean “break me” some days and this was no exception.

Two new (one updated) modification guides have now gone on-line, on the OctoInkjet site. So, if you have any of the printers below you can now get them fitted with an external waste kit and reset them too
- Epson Stylus R240 – R250 (possibly R340 – R350 too)
- C64 – C68/D68 (same as below)
- C84 – C88/D88
- RX680, RX685, RX690
There’s still some resources pending including ~~the RX680, RX685, RX690, and~~ the R1900 so those will go online sometime next week, once I’ve resolved a few issues with image quality

Update: You may have noted I managed to sneak in the RX680-RX690 guide tonight too… The man is just smokin’ hot today I tell ya 🙂

QuickFind: Your Printer’s mod’ and reset information

Epson Intel, IPR - Ink Pad Reset, Printer Modification Guides 14.09.2009 1 Comment
I’ve been wanting to post this message for a VERY long time now so it’s a real sense of achievement and relief that I can unveil a new tool for locating detailed mod, waste ink and reset utility information for most (if not all) Epson Inkjet printers.

The Tool

This link will take you to the tool directly
QuickFind Tool

What Does it Provide

The new tool allows you to locate the key “waste ink” information relating to your printer, specifically:
1. Instructions for modifying your printer (if they exist)
2. A waste counter reset utility (if available)
3. Compatible waste kits
4. Even the sales zone the printer came from
The tool can now be found on its own page complete with introductory information and a guide on how to interpret the information it provides.

After a bit of confusion regarding the plugin structure, the FAQ section is now up and running

It’s still very early days but I’d welcome any suggestions for FAQ questions and/or categories to include so it can be built up over time.

The new section is easy to find via the “FAQ’s” link above.

Canon MP830

This was something of a unique situation for me as a power surge caused untold problems with my network but particularly bizarre was the discovery that my Canon MP830 printer had managed to turn itself into Japanese mode and presented an error… Uhoh!

Resetters & Mac/*nix Availability

IPR - Ink Pad Reset 11.08.2009 No Comments

Unfortunately there’s no easy way to break this but the simple fact is that, at present, there are no reset utilities available that will work on ~~Mac~~ or Unix/Linux/*nix operating system.

Mac compatible utility now available

Due to some development work by 2manuals there is now a reset utility that is compatible with Mac operating systems called the iWIC

This new utility appears to have all the same compatibility as the WICReset (windows) utility although that’s currently unconfirmed.

Click the appropriate link for more information about the iWIC and WICReset/iWIC key purchasing
