Firmware & Installation Notice (Important)

Epson printers use firmware to detect and restrict non-genuine ink cartridges. Updating your printer’s firmware may cause compatible ink cartridges to stop being recognised or display error messages.

To avoid compatibility issues, it is strongly recommended that automatic firmware updates are disabled in your printer settings when using compatible ink cartridges.

If firmware updates are installed, the printer may display messages such as:

• “Ink cartridge not recognised”
• “Ink cartridges cannot be recognised”
• “Replace cartridge”

These issues are firmware-related and are not a fault with the cartridge itself.
