Epson Chip ResetterFor 9 contact chips

    Normal Operation - Even though the JYCE168 has only 7 pins, it will reset the Epson Chips that have 9 contacts.
    If the 9 contact chip Epson cartridge is used until it is completely empty then it can not be reset and reused. You can reset the chip if at least 10% of the ink remains in the cartridge. This is hard to judge since most of the printers  don't give percentages, just a picture of a cartridge with a level of ink. This is a weight of about 21.5 grams. To determine how much ink is left in the cartridge it should be weighed on an accurate scale. If the weight is 21.5 grams or more the cartridge should be reusable. (Empty cartridge weight is 19 - 20 grams. Full cartridge weight is 28.7 - 31.6 grams)

    The JYCE168 has specially designed slots to accommodate the different Epson cartridges. The pins in the JYCE168  should tightly contact the gold pads on the cartridge chip. When the pins are in contact with the cartridge chip pads the led will blink red for 3 to 4 seconds, then LED will stay green. This indicates that the reset has been successful. The plastic adapter is used only for the cartridges listed below.

Attach the plastic adapter to the JYCE168  as shown in the photo. Rest the cartridge on the plastic adapter so the pins on the JYCE168  line up with the gold pads on the cartridge chip. Press the cartridge against the pins to make firm contact. Hold this position for 3 to 4 seconds until you get a steady green LED. This indicates that the reset was successful.
If this doesn't work then take the guide off and "eyeball" the resetter pins onto the chip contacts.

Troubleshooting
 
1.    The LED in the JYCE168  does not flash.

a)  The pins are not making solid contact with the cartridge chip.

b)  The cartridge chip is not a compatible Epson chip.

c)  The cartridge chip has corrupted data in it, or it is defective. Get a new chip, or transfer a known good chip from an Epson cartridge.

d)  The JYCE168  internal batteries are dead. This is unlikely, unless used over 500 times.
