Step 17 Testing the System
Push the injectors to the far right and plug the printer back on. Have your graphics program (e.g. Photoshop) open
and ready to use.
The printer should come on and the head should move back and forth a few times and do a cleaning cycle. When it
stops moving, only the green light should be on.
A red light at this point indicates that one of the chips has not been recognized or seated correctly. If this is the case
please push firmly on the Chip block that is not registering. If this does not solve the issue then please LOCK all
tubes with the white clamps and very carefully remove the Injectors. Now very carefully check the chip that is not
registering. It is advisable to clean the chip by wiping the contacts with a soft cloth and re-install the system again.
Remember when the system has been re-installed to UNLOCK the white tube clamps.
HOW THE SPECIAL PERMACHIP WORKS: -
The PermaChips operate as a normal chip on a injector and while printing the ink levels will drop as a normal
injector on the status monitor. When the ink levels reach low indicated by a flashing red light on the printer panel,
you will need to turn the printer OFF, wait for 30 seconds and restart the printer. This process will reset the chips to
FULL.
At this stage, your Eco-Flo system is in a position to be used as your injectors are now filled with ink. You may need
to carry out a head clean in order to get a complete nozzle check.
To execute a head clean you will need to open a document in any program and select the print option from the tool
bar (this can normally be found in ‘File’). Ensuring you have selected the correct printer driver, click on the
‘Properties’ button. This will open a new window in which you will need to select the ‘Utilities’ tab. In this window you
will find all the options for head cleaning and nozzle checks. For more detailed instructions please refer to the
Epson manual that came with the printer.
A window will open when you make your first print.
This informs you that these are not Epson injectors
and gives you the option to continue or quit – choose
YES and continue printing in the normal way.
