Issue with Epson SC-P800 Chipless Firmware Activation
Problem Description
I own several Epson printers that I want to convert to chipless and currently, I am working on using the chipless firmware solution for the SC-P800 printer model. I have followed the instructions provided on the chipless manual page but I am facing issues during the activation process.Error Message
After running the firmware updater, the process reaches 99% completion but then a status failed message appears. I have attempted the activation process multiple times with the same result. Upon checking the firmware version using the Wic Rest Utility, it shows OR18HC 18/12/2017.Query on Activation Key
I am unsure whether I can proceed with purchasing the activation key to make the SC-P800 chipless considering the error message and the firmware version displayed. Can I still obtain the activation key at this point?Resolution
Explanation
The error message encountered during the activation process is a known issue due to recent changes made by Epson. As long as the printer firmware version is correct after the update, you should be able to activate the chipless firmware.Confirmation of Correct Version
Since the firmware version displayed is OR18HC, which is the correct version, you can proceed with the activation process without any issues.Additional Information
If you have concerns about using a no expiration activation key multiple times on the same printer, rest assured that it is possible. In case you need to switch back to chipped ink cartridges in the future, the activation key can be utilized again.Conclusion
Final Thoughts
I appreciate the assistance provided in resolving the activation issue. Everything appears to be in working order now. Thank you for your support.Advice on Future Activations
For future updates, you can reuse the activation key on the same printer. However, it is recommended to disable automatic updates to prevent any potential issues in the future.Contact Admin
