Epson l800 where to enter the ink code. Epson L800 review. Original or compatible ink? Reset codes

Modern Epson printers with type L type paper with an integrated continuous ink supply system have really revolutionized the printing device market. Epson has taken the lead in providing many customers, both designers and small business owners, with the ability to print high volume jobs at the most reasonable printing cost on the market.

These printers are the following models: Epson L110, Epson L210, Epson L350 y Epson L355, Eson M105 and Epson M205. Previously, the most used printers of this brand were Epson L100 and L200. It all started with these printers.

When refilling the donors of these printers, you should not only consider the actual ink refilling process, as shown in the image, but also remember the ink codes that will have to be used at each refill.

As far as we know, Epson won't let us refill the ink just like that, because in such a situation, anyone could produce donors. Even if you refill the cartridges with original ink, the printer will lock up and won't let you print.

Anyway, the first thing to do is to ink the donors. After that, you need to enter the codes of jet donors, which can usually be found on the donor body itself. All donors are provided with different codes.

"Our recommendation for users of these printers is to use genuine Epson inks, as their price is quite reasonable and the quality is excellent. In case there is a problem with the printer, in order to obtain warranty service (and you refilled the donors with compatible inks), you need to refill with only original inks. "

The process of entering codes after refilling Epson printer donors:

First, tediously go to the properties of the printer on the computer.

In this window, find the printer that you refilled and whose ink levels are at zero, and also determine the color of the ink that has run out. As a rule, the black color is consumed quickly. If in your case it is a different color, we will enter other codes.

In this article, I would like to express my opinion on the Epson L800 six-color photo printer. The L series from the manufacturer indicates that the printer is equipped with a factory CISS. The manufacturer calls such a device a "print factory". There are quite a few reviews of this printer on the Internet. Therefore, here I will not delve into specifications, but I’ll tell you why the L800 is needed at all and how expedient it is to buy it. I repeat, this is just mine personal opinion And I, in no case do not impose it on others.

Let's take a quick look at what this device is.

Epson L800 comes in plain gray cardboard box, like all L-series devices.

Included: power cable, waste paper, a driver disk, several sheets of photo paper, a tray for printing on disks, and six jars of Epson ink.

According to the good old tradition, the USB cable was not put inside. What for? If you forgot to warn the store about its absence - do not worry. We came home, unpacked the printer and went back to the store for the cable - walking is good for health.

This is what the printer looks like from above. Attached to the right is a block of donor containers.

Naturally, there is no board for determining inkwell chips. But this does not mean that the device will allow the use of non-original ink.

CISS tubes are quite thick and soft, made with high quality.

Donor containers are covered with a lid.

We open it. On the reverse side The lids are labeled with instructions on how to properly handle the ink tanks.

On the side of the block there is a switch for transport and working positions. When you use the device - do not forget to set the switch to the working position. Otherwise, your printer may start to have big printing problems. In the transport position, it is trite, the tubes are pinched and, thereby, the access of ink to the printer is blocked.

In order to disconnect the ink tank unit from the printer, simply lift it up.

Ink filling holes are closed with paired rubber plugs

On top, on the cover of the printer is pasted detailed instructions how to start the device for the first time.

Each ink can has a code that must be entered when initializing the printer. This serves as protection against the use of non-original ink. The capacity of the jar is 70 ml.

So what is better to buy L800 or P50? Is it worth overpaying for a CISS from a printer manufacturer?

Initially, the difference in price between these two printers seems to be quite significant - 50-70 USD. But note that on P50 You will definitely have to install CISS (well, or purchase refillable cartridges). Adding to the costP50 cost of CISS and installation. Now the difference between L800 and P50 turns out not so big - about 15-20 USD.

For this money, you get a high-quality CISS, which is practically devoid of such problems as airing, pressure drops in the system, and others that cheap (and not so) systems from third-party manufacturers often "sin" with. You also get the opportunity to print with original ink. In addition, the original ink does not dry out so quickly in the print head when the printer is idle for a long time without printing.

Many complain about the high cost of original ink. Yes, indeed, original L-series printer inks cost about seven times more than normal third-party inks. But, firstly, if you are purchasing a printer for home use- You'll have enough for a long time. And if for commercial - their price will pay off for you. Secondly, no one bothers you to use compatible consumables, which are much cheaper. But what about protection, but what about the codes on the jars? Now there are quite a lot of programs on the Internet for generating these codes. For example PrintHelp.

Although, frankly, I am against the use of alternative consumables specifically for the L series of Epson printers. At the same time, you save some money, but lose more than half of the benefits that I wrote about above.

Summing up, I would like to state that Epson printer with factory CISS - quite competitive products. Choosing between a "print factory" and a similar device without CISS, I would prefer the first option.

Hello!

Dear visitor, we are pleased to inform you that "Ink-by" is back on the vast and already so familiar network. Many of our regular customers, both by phone and in person, often asked questions:

- "Why is the site closed?"

- "What happened?"

- "You no longer work?"

- "Discount cards are no longer valid?"

But, unfortunately, we could not answer all this quickly and easily. And now, it's time to answer all vrprosy.

I hope you noticed that "Ink-by" is a very narrowly specialized company. We only do things in which we are professionals. our employees do not sell computers, TVs, hair dryers with coffee grinders. All activities are related only to inkjet technologies: ink , CISS , refillable cartridges etc. In my opinion, there are very few enterprises in the vastness of our country in which all employees without exception (from the storekeeper to the seller) would understand not only the range of goods and services sold, but also understand how it all works. But here comes another round of globalization of the Internet. Highly specialized products appeared on catalog sites, which began to be sold by everyone. And, of course, the task of online stores was reduced to promising the buyer with "three boxes", with a minimum margin, "suck in" the goods and forget. The main thing is to include in the price of the goods free shipping; find a seller with a pleasant, confident, polite voice; promise the cheapest price and by any means "draw" yourself great amount positive feedback with medals :-)). And at the same time, no one, neither the buyer nor the seller, wanted to think about what inkjet printers , CISS , PZK, yes and ink With photo paper- this is something that requires not only the qualifications of the seller, but also constant feedback with the user. Understanding that in this area a lot of pitfalls came for everyone (as well as for the grief of sellers who ran away from customers and buyers) a little later: with nerves, discontent, anger and resentment towards each other.

Seeing all this, we decided not only to return to the retail market for sales of ink, CISS and cartridges, but also to focus our efforts in the service segment, correcting what the sellers have done wrong for all this time. We we provide free consultations to all users of inkjet technology. We don't care if you bought a printer from us or not. The main thing is to help you understand what jet printer this is not a headache, but something that should bring pleasure, both in the printing process and in viewing the final result.

If you ask a question to which we cannot find an answer, then we will honestly say - "Sorry, but in this situation we cannot help you. Contact someone else." And we will not "lead anyone by the nose", and feed "breakfasts" and "after breakfasts".

Sincerely, OOO "Chernila-by"
