The
free SSC Service Utility makes my reseter
obsolete.

I have no connection with this site –
don't send report files (testrep.txt) to me.
The majority of my email
consists of people wanting free help to reset some printer I know
nothing about.
I get more requests for help than I can
manage, I have *real* work to do and I'm really quite busy.
Even
if I wasn't I don't want to give unlimited free support for the rest
of my days, I have other things I want to do.
I have provided a
free circuit design and program for the 2100/2000 and 1290 chips -
that is all – if it handles other printers this is a bonus.
I
hacked the chip for my own use, I will not be hacking the entire
epson range for the fun of it.
I don't know what other printers it
will work with – for starters see if the chips look the same
(same pads shorted). Commercial reseter for the 2100 were not
available when I wrote the progam – they are now.
My ESP is
not good enough to know everything about your printer, I don't have
every epson model number memorized or have any desire to do so.
I
do not want to teach people basic electronics.
On
the other hand there are some people I can help.
If you can
read your chip with my system but need a “small” mod to
the program let me know. For example one guy in Germany has used my
system to read c60 chips. The color cartridge will need more bytes
reset and I will add this.
If you have the skills and courage to
hack something new (or old) – that is use a logic analyzer of
some sort to read signals in the printer. You can give me a look at
the traces if you like. (someone has sent me some 790 traces for
example – they weren't very good though).
Very
few people want to help.
Thanx you to those people who send
me information. Often this it is stuff I already have but I'd rather
get duplicates than miss something important.
