Epson 4000 Maintenance Tank Issue

[Coy886]

Hello Everyone,

I just recently got the notice saying that my maintenance tank was near full on my epson 4000. I removed the tank, cleaned it out and reset the chip with the chip resetter that came with my refillable ink cartridges. When I put the tank back in the printers screen said that there was no maintenance tank installed. I pulled out the tank and put in another that had plenty of life in it. When I put it in, the screen said THAT one was nearly full. I took it out and put it back in without doing anything to the chip and immediately it started giving me the same error saying that no tank was installed. Any ideas guys? Do I need to buy a new tank?

No you dont need to reset your maintenance tank with the reseter the 4000 has the ability to reset the maintenance tank BY ITSELF with the hidden service menue
