This listing is for a complete Tank Cover Open Sensor Keyslot Detector assembly for the Epson ET-8550, including the sensor switch, full wire harness, and factory-style connector exactly as shown in the photos. This sensor detects whether the ink tank cover is properly closed and reports that status to the printer; if the sensor is damaged, missing, or malfunctioning, the printer may display tank cover open errors or refuse to operate even when the cover is closed. The harness plugs directly into CN15 on the mainboard, allowing for a direct replacement with no splicing or modification required. This part is commonly needed when the sensor is cracked, contaminated with ink, the wires are damaged, or the assembly is lost during disassembly. Compatible with Epson ET-8550 only (compatibility with other EcoTank models is not confirmed). Installation requires partial disassembly of the ink tank cover area and basic technical skill. This listing includes only the Tank Cover Open Sensor assembly and does not include the ink tank, cover, or any additional hardware beyond what is shown.

I ordered 2 sets of this 3ft tubing. I struggled with several companies websites trying to find this size tubing in a longer size. Finally i settled and ordered this - even though 3ft would be too short and I'd need to meld some of the second set to the first set to make it long enough. Item got here quick, i opened the box and bam! They sent me 6 ft. Because i ordered 2 sets of 3ft. Common sense like this doesn't exist anymore. I was expecting to need to improvise and they fixed a problem they didn't even know i had simply by doing what makes sense! Wonderful!! Cannot say how grateful i am. Give a raise to the person who was in charge of this order. It also fits perfectly in the other dimensions and should be exactly what i need for my printer.

Best thing ever!! i used to put cleaning solution in the capping station with a syringe/hose then had to suck out f the wast line with a syringe.... over and over until the capping station was clean. maybe up to 10 times. now i just use maybe 1 or 2 - 30ml syringes full of water and the pump cleans it out so good.... then I put capping solution, place printhead over capping station and turn on the back of the machine. thats it. when i print again, usually next day, I pull from waste tank a few times until I get ink, then i run 1 head cleaning , print a test strip and usually good to go. I sometimes print a 2nd test strip. SO MUCH easier to use this little pump. so glad I bought it.
