Remove all toner cartridges

there maybe a cartridge replacement button to drag the print head etc out of the way so you can get at the cartridges.


I hope this was helpful

Make sure that Ready or Sleep is displayed in the LCD panel.
Select Change Toner X (The letters C, M, Y, or K appear in place of X, indicating the colors Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Black.) in the Reset Menu on the control panel.While the cartridge X you selected above moves to the cartridge replacement position, Please Wait appears on the LCD panel.Replace Toner X appears in the LCD panel when the cartridge to be replaced reaches the cartridge replacement position.Then Open Cover A.Push up the right lever to unlock the toner cartridge. Then remove the toner cartridge from the printer.

if you are installing a new printer, you should not need to remove the toner cartridge from the old one. If however you are trying to replace the toner cartridge, when you open the device, there should be a off color button you press to release the cartridge from it's position so you can remove it.

You must follow these steps to replace the toner cartridges:

1. Turn the printer on.
   
   
2. Open Cover A.
   
   
3. Push up the right lever to unlock the toner cartridge.
   
   
   
4. Remove the toner cartridge from the printer.
   
   
5. Take the new toner cartridge out of its package and gently shake the toner cartridge as shown below.
   
   
6. Hold the tag and gently pull the toner seal upward and remove it.
   
   
7. Insert the cartridge all the way until it stops securely with the arrow mark on the top of the toner cartridge facing toward cover A.
   
   
   
   TIP: Hold the cartridge in the middle as shown in the picture. Push it gently all the way through the rails. Make sure both sides of the cartridge are inserted at the same time. Keeping some pressure in the middle of cartridge until you hear a ‘click’.
   
8. Push down the right lever to lock the toner cartridge.
   
   
9. Close Cover A

Epson C1100's show toner low for a long time before it actually needs replacing (usually have another 500 - 1000 copies left). This is to give you time to order a new one. When it is completely empty you will get a message saying replace K toner and the cartridge will be moved into the front position ready to remove it. If you really must replace it before it is empty let me know and I will try to explain how to do it, although it is quite involved.

Please take a moment to rate this solution. Thanks.

To replace the cartridges before they are actually empty you should:

1. Navigate to the reset menu (using down arrow)
2. Select this (right arrow)
3. Navigate till you get to Change Toner x (where x is the colour)
4. Select this.
5. Wait for the printer to stop churning.
6. Open the front door and you should see the correct toner cartridge at the back.
7. Follow the instructions just inside the door (or on the cartridge box.)
   

You need to remove the cyan cartridge, and thoroughly clean the inside of the printer (please use proper printer cleaning kit, not a damp cloth!). The sensors can get crudded up with loose toner inside the machine.

the chip is faulty on the black cartridge, change the black and it'll work, alternately you can out it diagnostic made and run without the cartridges being monitored

Replace Toner with gen cartridge.

 

Or Take cartridge back as faulty after checking that it was opened and installed correctly.

 

Check display on printer for indications that maybe it needs one of the 3 colour toners indicators are Y,C or M

 

K is black

Yes, they do make this model, I'm using one now. I had the same problem

The solution for me was to clean inside of printer thoroughly, with the C (or whatever) cartridge removed. The sensors get dirty.
