How to Reset the Epson Stylus Color 980 Printer Chip

The Epson Stylus Color 980 is a personal ink-jet printer that uses replaceable cartridges and has an integrated monitoring system for ink levels. Ink level monitoring is based upon projected levels versus a digital alarm built into each ink cartridge to alert when it has reached 40 percent and 5 percent. Whenever you add new ink cartridges or refill old ones, you must reset the Epson's EEPROM chip, which records all current ink levels and print projects.

Follow the step to Reset the Epson Stylus Color 980 Printer Chip :

1. Click the "Start" button on your computer to open the Start menu.
2. Click the "Control Panel" and choose "Classic View" if you are using Windows Vista.
3. Double-click the "Printers and Faxes" icon. This will open up the Control Panel for all of your active printers. Windows will automatically detect any printer, including the Epson Stylus Color 980, as long as it is plugged into your computer and in the "On" position.
4. Right-click the Epson Stylus printer icon to open a drop-down menu with several options.
5. Click the option that says "Properties."
6. Click the tab that says "Color Management."
7. Press the button at the very bottom of the tab that says "Reset Ink Levels." This will break the constant flashing of your error lights and reset the EEPROM chip.
