Hi! I was very glad to find thie site, the instructions are very clear but it didn´t work the resetter program for my Epson Stylus Photo R270. I don´t know why, perhaps because it is a new model… I’ve got no idea.
If you know somethig else about it I’ll thank you a lot!!!

Dear friends,
I just purchased an Epson Stylus r270, and I loaded a remote continuous feeding ink.
The R270, was started to print really OK, with a very good standard, since some photos was appearing not much clear.
So I decided to use the printer functions to clean the nozzle and the print head.
In addition with an absorbent paper, manually I tried to dry from the ink, the black sponge below the head.
I did this operation with the print OFF, but when I made ON, the head went quick against the right side of the printer with a strong noise and the two red light, paper and ink, started to blinking rapidly.
I try to follow the instruction of the Adjustment Program, downloaded from the net, and following the suggestions, to open the right side of the printer to empty the waste (the thank was empty, not one drop of ink was coming out) , the red light was keeping on.
When the red light are on, the green one is off, but the light inside in the left side of the print is on.
With the Adjustment Program, I obtained all the time: “FATAL ERROR CODE 0 x 50”
And “CANNOT SEEK CR HOME POSITION”
I would like very pleased if you can help me.
Thanking you in advance,
Kindest Regards
Daniel

Hi Daniel,
Have you moved the print-head back to orginal position after you clean the sponge below the head? Probably, this was the cause of the printer faulty when you turned back ON.
It should be all right when you restart the printer. If not, I suggest, you bring to the service center after you take out the continuous inking system.
Hope this help.

Hi,
Worked great! Thanks.
(P.S. do I need to remove the ink from the waste pad???)

Hi Celadore,
You should do that, but it is not an easy task to do that.
If you did it for the first time, I think it should be all right.
Bring to service center if your printer is still under warranty and make sure you put genuine cartridge on it.

Hi!
Im having problems with the software.
it says, communication error.
does this work in windows vista?
thanks!

jasper,
I don’t think it work for vista. Many resetter programs are not ready for vista yet. Perhaps you can reset the counter manually by pressing buttons in your printer.
Refer to this post, try to find similar button at your printer. Hope this help.
