I’ve just bought an Epson 7750 printer. I’ve accidentally done the initial set up and filled the ink cartridges up after. Now silly me after looking at instructions it says you need to put the ink in.. then plug the printer in and set it all up and then it’ll give you the option to charge the ink.. anyone have any ideas how I can charge the ink now I’ve done the initial set up etc? Thank you!
Hi Hansford2007, You can try to follow the refill instructions and see if that will work.
I just had epson on the phone and they told me to turn the printer off and hold down the power button and the help / ? button until the power clean option comes on then run that and follow on screen prompts until finished and then leave the printer for at least 12 hours for the printing to improve but if you run a print check everything should be fine anyways.
I have just done the same thing. I went on the Epson chat helpline and was given the following advice which worked. Run the Head clean 6 times consecutively. That charged the pipework from the ink tanks to the head. Only downside was that it immediately then told me to replace the maintenance tank. Although, it can’t possibly be full as it used minimal ink, it seems that I have to do that now and use the spare that came with it as I can’t find a chip re-setter for this model available on the net yet! Anyway, the head cleaning does the trick. Next time read the instructions carefully first! Too late for the first inquirer but there may be more search for this in future as it’s so easy to do.
Thanks, but after the thorough clean heads option its works fine, but you most wait atleast 24 hours before you make the first printing :)
Had to press a diamond shaped key with a vertical line on it to start ink charging
