Though I've recently installed a new compatible Epson Stylus Dx4450 Ink Cartridges for my Epson printer, there is an error showing "Cartridge not working". Now what should I do?

Depending on the model of your printer and the cartridges installed in it, ink cartridges cannot be recognized could mean just about anything from running low on ink to the cartridges not inserted in the correct position. Follow the instructions listed below to resolve the "cartridge not working error".

• Turn OFF the printer and detach the power cable from the main switch for 5-10 minutes.
• Connect the power cable in and turn the printer ON.
• Check if the error is resolved. If not, try to establish which colour is triggering it. You can usually find this on the printer LCD screen with the recognition error. If you can't see any colour mentioned, try scrolling down the display screen. Note: If no ink error is found anywhere, try printing something to check if the problem still persists. Powering the printer ON/OFF may sometimes resolve the error.
• Open printer cover and check all the Epson Stylus Dx4450 Ink Cartridges are installed in the correct places. Also ensure that all cartridges are the correct part numbers for your printer.
• Remove all cartridges from the printer.
• Check cartridge chips and confirm that none have fallen off. If inky, wipe chip contacts with damp tissue and dry them.
• Confirm all cartridges have adequate ink, if not then refill the cartridges that are about to get empty.
• Power printer OFF/ON and check whether the problem is resolved.
• If the error is still there remove all the cartridges from the printer.
• Install one cartridge in the printer and wait for the printer to recognize the cartridge.
• If the installed cartridge is now recognized, repeat the steps for the remaining cartridges, if not then remove the cartridge and try installing other cartridges in its correct slot.
• Repeat the steps until all the Epson Stylus Dx4450 Ink Cartridges are installed.
• Turn the printer ON.
