    Epson RX700 Printer-Scanner-Copy Problems

    Shempdogg: I'll try to help, but there is more than one problem that causes this message and I have had experience with only one. It appears that it is the prime problem. Let me first caution you against pushing the cartridges in and out too many times, do as few as possible. Your learning...

    Epson RX700 Printer-Scanner-Copy Problems

    Epson RX700 Final Disposition: I am ecstatic, fixed the ink supply problems and the printer now works great. I am quite proud of myself for hunting it down and am very appreciative of your help Mike in keeping me on the track. As it turns out, the RX700 cartridge is internally...

    Epson RX700 Printer-Scanner-Copy Problems

    Epson RX700 more than you wanted to know. Mike and anyone else interested: I've been privy to an RX700 service manual, quite detailed with layouts, schematics, electronics, trouble-shooting. Quite interesting. The 6 ink cartridges are each shown to contain a collapsable plastic bag of ink...

    Epson RX700 Printer-Scanner-Copy Problems

    Thanks Mike. What you say makes sense. I'm not sure exactly how I translate that into a course of action to get my printer back online, but if what you say is the case, this is beyond anything I can do as a non-trained do-it-yourselfer.

    Epson RX700 Printer-Scanner-Copy Problems

    One more thing about the RX700 Epson. This has 6 inks, 3 on each side of the machine with two access doors. On the right side front, just behind the control panel and just above the 3 inks on that side is a mechanism that appears to be an accordian-type bellows measuring about 1-inch by...

    Epson RX700 Printer-Scanner-Copy Problems

    Okay, thanks for your guidance Mike. Like you said, the RX700 is not widely owned, but sure does some nice things. I even have to order cartridges, they are not available in stores. I may well go ahead and invest another $70. or so to get a set of OEM cartridges to install and take my...

    Epson RX700 Printer-Scanner-Copy Problems

    No I didn't Mike, don't have any of those on hand and new set of them would be $65. to $70. What do you think are the chances that going that route would be a good additional cash layout value? Thanks

    Epson RX700 Printer-Scanner-Copy Problems

    Thanks Mike. Yes, Idid the onboard nozzle check , unplugged the printer for while, (just did those again for the 6-7th time) and did the reset with the SSC utility. So I guess you are right, points to electronics malfunction. I did do one other thing, took off the CIS setup and reinstalled...

    Epson RX700 Printer-Scanner-Copy Problems

    Hi Mike, thanks for your brief input. I've already been that route and reset the inkpad counter, which freed up the printer to go ahead and seemingly operate as normal, feed the paper, even acts like its printing the page, but nothing gets transsferred. Before I reset the couner, the printer...

    Epson RX700 Printer-Scanner-Copy Problems

    I'm new here and have looked and looked in FAQ's and posts for some info., but the RX700 is kind of rare and no one talks about it. Mine is 1-1/2 yrs. old, has had about 10 sets of cartrides replaced and I have been using after-market generics with very good result. I decided to get a CIS...
