I get an error message on my Epson WF-2530 that the ink cartridges are "not recognized". How do I bypass this?

On mine it says they are not authorized but I can press ok and it will bypass

I get the same message too. That Epson's way of getting us to buy their brand. Just bypass the error message.

What worked for my WF-2530 printer when this happened the very first time I used these cartridges was to use several of the maintenance options (head cleaning, alignment, etc). I turned it off and on and then it was just fine... Hope it helps!

I got the same thing at first just turned it wasn't snapped all the way down into the cradle. Pull it out and snap it back in once.

Remove ALL cartridges and reload. You my need to do so more than once to get around the message.

Epson is very frustrating with not recognizing cartridges, and I have heard sometime they don't even recognize their own. I use only remanufactured cartridges which work just fine, and I have not found them harmful at all to the printer as Epson keeps threatening. It helps to find a brand of remanufactured cartridges that Epson usually does not reject (try different ones). When it rejects a new cartridge you have put in, you can try removing all cartridges and reinserting them, pressing each in firmly. This often works. Sometimes, when Epson won't accept a new cartridge I have installed, I then replace also any others that look like they are very low, and when I do that, then the Epson finally accepts the cartridge. Try that as well. I find a lot of ink is wasted with all of this, so it makes up for the loss to use the very much cheaper remanufactured cartridges!

Epson artisan 730 and artisan 837, opening the top of the printer (to look inside where the ink cartridges are) is all you do to reset them. Very simple. All you do is open the printer top then close it. You'll see when your installing the CISS The Epson 837 with CISS in my opinion is the best ink/printer combo. Ive done over 10,000 prints with the same printer, thanks to those 'Ink Pad Reset keys'. :)

I do not know what printer you have, but my Epson Stylus NX215 balked at first, but by removing and reinserting the cartridges, it finally recognized them. It still balks occasionally, but again, I remove and reinstall the cartridges.

Install the ciss , do not install the ink that come with the printer. The ink is different.

It seems that XP 310 will reject at least some of the generics. I'm experimenting with the ink and the printer does not seem to recognize the new cartridge. We shall see how it pans out later... One thing for sure is that this does not seem to be plug-n-play. :(

I have a Epson WF 3520 and they work just fine. I get a notice from Epson saying they are not an Epson product. I just click on I understand and go on. After reading of problems some had with this or other refills I made the decision not to mix Epson cartridges with the refills. Not sure if this had any help in getting around chip problems or not. All I can say is my experience has been very good. I am getting ready to do a large printing and I may know more about the number of pages it will print on one set of cartridges.

Sorry, but I never solved this issue. Just trashed my R1800 (for other reasons) and bought an Epson R2000. I have a brand new, in the box Red ink cartridge that I can no longer use. I also have six other partially full ink cartridges for the R1800. Will send them to you for, say, $5.05 Priority postage. Let me know and I will give you my address.

Better purchase from Epson. I just tried our generic inks purchased from Amazon and the printer will not accept them.

I was never able to get the printer recognize the cartridges. I did as one reviewer suggested - fiddle with the contact points on the chip to no avail. I can get it to work sometimes if I unplug the printer and mess with the contact points on the chip. It's frustrating. I understand many reviewers have been successful using these cartridges. This is my experience. I broke down and purchased genuine Epson cartridges. I'm in watch repair as a profession so I'm very familiar with small circuit boards and contact points.

Same Problem. Epson help center could not "help." I am returning the printer. So disappointed.

I have a 2530 and they work just fine. It tells me it is a non Epson product and I have to confirm that I want to use it.

Only genuine Epson cartridges will work properly. Save your time and get the brand name.

you might want to check if the Epson workforce 2530 is the same as my Epson XP-200, because at east for my XP-200 they worked great, I guess as long as your Epson takes the same model of ink as mine, it should be OK,

You can't. I spent 3 hrs on the phone with Kodak tech support to come to the realization its a rip off. I never used my color ink cartridge, ever and it kept saying it was out. Something in the software tells it is empty when it's not. Il stay away from this line of printers
