How to restore the epson stylus tx140 printer

The epson stylus tx140 model can photocopy and print documents and pictures. It’s one of the best multifunction printers in the market, and can print laser quality documents thanks to its durable ink.

It works with four (4) individual ink cartridges, which gives you the advantage of changing any one of them when necessary. This printer can produce up to 34 pages per minute with the black ink cartridge, and you can use it to print your pictures directly from your camera or memory card.

It’s compatible with multiple operating systems, such as windows 2000, windowsxp, windowsxp professional x64 edition, windows vista, macintosh usb, macintosh os x 10.3.9, 10.4.x and 10.5.x. You can load up to 120 sheets in the paper tray.

This printer model works with the following epson ink cartridges:
73n black
73hn black (high capacity)
73n cyan
73n magenta
73n yellow.

These printers are one of the best candidates for CISS -continuous ink system- installation. As you may know by now, these ink cartridges lack the inner sponge some other have, and that makes them suitable for this ink system. These cartridges are also very easily restored and have very high printing quality, which also contributes to the continuous ink system.

However, using this printer for work purposes can fill up the ink deposits, a set of sponges that absorb all the ink residues from our printing jobs. This will show up on many printers and will force you to restore it back to factory settings. This is the main reason why we’ve created this post.

You must only select the waste ink pad counter option, and then click on ok to continue. This will restore the printer and make it think it no longer has waste ink pads. Please keep in mind these sponges will remain full even after the printer has been restored.

We know printers can send out this message even if they’re not completely full, but having full waste ink pads can cause you some problems in the future.

Finally, select all the options you must, and then click on check to make sure everything’s fine. Now please click on accept, and later on the initialization option. You may click on finish after the entire process is done.

Now that you’ve restored your printer, please turn it off and let it rest for 30 seconds before turning it back on. This will have restored the page counter program that was telling you the waste ink pads inside your printer were full. Now please take a look at the following picture.
