Answer:
Thanks for writing to us with your question. We're sorry we weren't able to get back to you sooner. We know printer problems are always pressing, but at the same time, we want to make sure we are giving the most considered and thorough responses we can. We value your time and support (on our YouTube channel (https://youtube.com/@bchtechnologies) and here at BCH Technologies (https://bchtechnologies.com)). Your response would help us fine-tune our technical skills and deliver relevant printer repair information.
Now, let's get into the depths of your issue.
Epson 822XL Cartridges Can Be Reset?
These were traditionally reset with Auto Reset Chips (ARC) or resetter devices. However, since Epson released recent firmware updates, these methods have mostly become obsolete. Chipless firmware solutions are the most reliable way to manage the ink level on newer Epson models.
Chipless Firmware Solution
We recommend the chipless firmware option for your Epson Workforce Pro WF-4830. While the conventional method involves manually resetting the cartridges, chipless software works by modifying the printer’s firmware to bypass the ink chip authentication process. This means you can use refillable cartridges without worrying about whether or not your chip is recognized.
Where do I get Chipless firmware for WF-4830?
- InkChip.net (https://inkchip.net/soft)- is one of the top platforms for chipless solutions. However, their Support Now Ends at the WF-4700 Series. Can you please contact their support team and ask them if the WF-4800 series (and WF-4830 also) can expect support soon?
- ChiplessSolutions.com (https://www.chiplesssolutions.com)- A site that regularly updates firmware fixes.
- WIC Reset Utility (https://www.wic.support)– Provides further reset capabilities, including waste ink counter resets.
While more traditional resetters may be easily found in online instructions, you may need one for new cartridges, such as the 822XL, and have trouble locating one. Generic resetters that can erase the errors are available in a few stores in marketplaces like eBay. Search for terms like:
- “Resetter for Epson 822XL cartridge”
- "Epson chip reset tool"
With refillable cartridges, we recommend searching for at least semi-transparent third-party cartridges so you can tell when ink is running low by throwing a peek inside. These are easy to find on eBay and other third-party ink suppliers. OEM spent cartridges are usually between $1 and $2
Waste Tank Reset and Maintenance
InkChip also offers waste tank reset services since you must reset the waste ink counter after replacing or cleaning the waste ink tank. Here are valuable resources:
- Waste Ink Reset Service (https://inkchip.net/wic)
- Video Guide: Waste Ink Reset (https://youtu.be/sDsdLoaMX-w)
We have also tested InkChip solutions ourselves and confirmed their efficacy. They sometimes give a 10% discount code (kevin9966), but it is not always available.
Final Considerations
Troubleshooting printers is hands-on and requires proper investigation. Regrettably, we do not support remote repair. Still, we have a first-come, first-served evaluation service via our presence diagnostic facility (https://bchtechnologies.com/printer-repair-service) that can respond, although they are backed up a few weeks on work due to demand.
We also encourage self-help using Internet resources. We have many tutorials available on our YouTube channel (https://youtube.com/@bchtechnologies). On our channel’s menu, use the search icon next to the “About” section to find your preferred topics. The YouTube algorithm might recommend even more videos related to whatever you want to learn from other sources that could help you even more.
We hope this helps solve your problem! If you have questions or feedback, feel free to reply here. Thank you again for contacting BCH Technologies! If you have any more questions, please don't hesitate to look at www.solaro.com or our YouTube channel for more guidance.
