The error B204 could happen after a cartridge replacement. First of all, when installing, remove the cartridges from the plastic package, but do not drill any plastic membranes, as this will cause this error when placing the cartridge. The error may also appear if you change a completely empty cartridge: when installing a full cartridge, the printer enters a cleaning cycle, but the printhead has not yet received ink from the newly inserted cartridge. Here are some tips to cancel this error B204:: Solution 1: Remove the cartridges Power the printer for 2 minutes Switch on the printer Install the cartrdiges Solution 2: Switch on the printer Unplug the power cable Open the cover Move the print head carriage manually to the usual place where it goes for the cartridge change (If the printhead carriage is not movable, reconnect and then turn on the printer, then unplug it again when the head carriage is in the moving position).

whenever it requires ink cartridges to be changed. It says:
“Scanner unit is not closed”
Can someone please post a photo of where the lever is???
On an Epson WF-7620, open the printer lid as if you were to replace ink. The system will say 'Close the scanner unit'.
With a toothpick, push down the little lever located in a small slot on the inside rim of the unit, close to the power button.
Using the touch screen panel, follow the normal procedure to change the cartridges, while keeping the lever down for the first bit.
Good luck!
My question now is, during printhead align I see there are 5 pattern choices (1-7) to select in order to choose the best solid looking square in each pattern, shown in the printhead test printout. Problem is, my 840 workforce only printed out three patterns of black/gray squares represented by Xs below. Don't know how to evaluate this.???
X X XX X X X
X X XX X X X
X X XX X X X
I will Google this now, but if you know the answer, please let me know -- thanks!
THANK YOU.
This is the printer that they sent me for free when the previous Epson displayed a fatal warning code. They said, "Oh, that bad. We send new printer. So sorry."
THANK YOU.
When you open the scanner area as if to replace the ink, there is a small open square on the left hand side toward the front of the machine near the power button. You can barely see a small black lever inside that square. Use a pen / toothpick / etc to gently push that lever down (not "out" but down toward the floor) and make sure you are pressing down long enough for the display screen to reset itself. From there, the error should clear and if you go into the menu for ink replacement *** while still holding the lever down *** it should reset itself. Hope this helps someone save themselves a ton of frustration and wasted time!
