If you're an avid printer user, you know that printers can require frequent maintenance to function at their best. One common issue is a full waste tank, which can lead to poor print quality and even damage to your printer. In this article, we'll show you how to refresh the waste tank on an Epson 2750 printer for just $50.
First, it's important to understand what a waste tank is and why it's necessary. Whenever your printer does a self-cleaning, it dumps waste ink into a waste pad, which is stored in a tank. Over time, the tank can become full and need to be serviced.
To begin, locate the waste tank on your Epson 2750 printer. It's typically located in the right back corner and secured by a screw. Use your finger to peel off the cover and remove the screw underneath the tank. Once the tank is out, you can see that it's almost full.
Next, remove the screw on top of the tank and lift up one corner. Use your fingers or a tweezer to push the tabs in and remove the sponges from the tank. These sponges will likely be soaked with ink and need to be cleaned.
If you have a wife or girlfriend who wears pantyhose, you can put the sponges inside the pantyhose and throw them in the washing machine. If not, you can use your garden hose to rinse them off. Once the sponges are clean, put them in a salad spinner to remove excess water and air dry them. You can reuse the same sponges over and over again.
However, there's a counter inside the printer that needs to be reset back to zero. This can be done with software such as inkchip.net. Download the software and connect your printer to your computer via USB cable. Check the waste ink counters and select your printer. If the counters show that the ink tank is only half full, you may not need to reset it.
Assuming you do need to reset the counter, click the "reset waste ink counter" button and input your purchased key. Your antivirus software may warn you that the program is not signed, but it's safe to proceed. Once the counter is reset, restart your printer and check the ink counter. It should now be at zero, allowing you to safely print another 18,000 pages.
In conclusion, refreshing the waste tank on your Epson 2750 printer is a simple and affordable way to maintain optimal printer performance. By cleaning the sponges and resetting the counter, you can save money on expensive replacement parts and keep your printer running smoothly for years to come.
