ARC - Auto Reset Chip
How does auto re-set chip ( ARC ) works?
The Epson smart chip alerts you the ink level is low before the cartridge is
completely empty. This happens at about 20%. When the ink level displayed
by the software reaches zero, the printer will eventually stop printing. After
refilling the cartridge, it is necessary to reset the chip for the printer to "think" it
has ink to operate normally. This require a chip resetter. And the chip can
only be reset a number of times. Also, the sponge inside the sponge type
cartridge will eventually break down clog up the print heads.
This auto reset chip reset the ink level without the use of a chip resetter and
the cartridge does not have to be removed for the reset. The reset takes
place after a power cycle at 20%. If the printer has a large print job going, the
printer alert for low ink, the print job must be stopped before the chip can be
reset. Normal power off and power on will reset the chip when the 20% level
is reached.
Caution
1. Never install a cartridge without a chip. Serious damage will occur to the
printer. Always check the chip to see it is. Make sure the chip is securely
mounted before inserting a cartridge into the printer.
2. Do not rely on the auto reset chip to monitor the ink level in the cartridge.
There is no sensor in the cartridge to monitor the actual ink level. The printer
estimate the amount of ink used and store the information on the chip. With
the CIS, the cartridges are always full as long as the external tank is filled with
inks. However, the refillable cartridge should be refilled each time when the
chip reset to avoid the cartridge run dry. Always top up the cartridge before a
large print job.
