Normal Operation - For Chips with 7 contacts
The YXD268 has specially designed slots to accommodate the different Epson cartridges. The
pins in the YXD268 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.
Resetting the Epson individual cartridges such as the
C70/C80/C82/2100/2200 
Attach the plastic adapter to the YXD268 as shown in the photo. Rest the cartridge on the
plastic adapter so the pins on the YXD268 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 YXD268 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 YXD268 internal batteries are dead. This is unlikely, unless used over 500 times.
