    • Remove the upper housing by lifting it upwards.

    • It's easier to lift the housing by gripping it from the bottom.

    this is where I get stuck. the top won't come off. it seems to be stuck at the right front corner, where the buttons are. Is the button grouping part of the upper housing or does it come separate from the upper housing unit. The picture appears that you are taking the button attachment as part of the upper housing unit. But it is really stuck there on my 1400.

    insert a flathead screwdriver into the hole on the right side of the frame.

    Rotate screwdriver counter clockwise until it stops. here is a question what does it mean when the plastic screw never stops? or gets tight, and just keeps spinning?

    • Using tweezers, disengage the right tab from the back right panel of the carriage unit.

    • Using the tweezers, disengage the left tab from the back left.

    • Push the tweezers towards the front of the printer while pulling on the left side upwards.

    • When both tabs are disengaged, the part is slightly raised.

    An easier way is if you have a hooked ‘weeding tool’ or hooked tweezers etc - there is a small hole near the bottom left corner of the yellow box in the picture. You can get the point of the hook in there and hook it forward to unclip it. I did this on both sides - worked a charm!

    Simple ASCII diagram of clip from the side - (it goes up and clips over the top to the rear of the printer)

    I <- the hole will let you get in the side of here, pull forward to unclip.

    Sorry ASCII didn't turn out very good!

    The tilde ‘^’ should be immediately above the capital ‘I’ in the line below.

    A much easier way I found is to, slide the carriage to the left and stick a screw driver from the gap on the chassis just above the motor on the left and push to disingage, and then repeat the process for the right starting with pulling the carriage to the right.

Dear Larry,

Thank you for your excellent, thorough guide.

Since all I am replacing is the printhead, why do I need to remove the covers from the printer? In the later steps, you show clearly how to remove the printhead directly from the top front of the printer. Isn't that all I have to do to remove and replace the printhead?

After replacing the printhead on the Epson 1400, do I need to do some special kind of reset?

Thanks very much for your help and attention.

By default, the cartridge box is on the right most side of the printer. To get the printhead out, you need to disengage two tabs on the back of the cartridge box, shown on step 18. It's impossible to get to the right side one unless you can move the cartridge box close to the middle. And by default, you can't move the cartridge box by hand unless you unlock it on step 13, which is inside the side housing. If you can get away with sticking your hand inside the small rectangular hole of the top housing, then you don't have to take it off. But it's very difficult to maneuver your tweezers without lots of room. It's a tricky and awkward motion for your hand to disengage it, so we took off the housing first.

I'm not sure if any resets need to be done. You might have to realign the printhead using the printer software after you install it if the prints turn out strange.

With a simple hooked-end machinists scribe, it was easy to gently lift each little tab forward from the front and then easily lift the back board (over the printhead screws) straight up.

All I needed to do to let the printhead be moveable is turn the unit off, then turn it on. The printhead moves to center, then unplug the unit. Now the printhead is easy to move.

This "unplug it" method is common to most CISS retrofits to most Epson printers and it is not supposed to hurt anything.

I think Calfox is right - just turn printer on, then unplug as carriage starts to move. Then it can be moved freely.

Also a 4 - 5 mm Allen key can be used to unhook the CSIC plate - place angled end of key behind carriage, & feel for the edge of the clip. Then pull forward on allen key, & up on the CSIC plate. Do both sides. Take care not to damage the encoder strip.

Will try scribe method next -

So, I have the Epson Photo Stylus 1400 too. Mine was in storage for almost a year. When I tried to use it again, it didn't recognize that there was any ink in the cartridges. I replaced the cartridges and still didn't recognize that there was ink in the cartridges. I tried to clean it from the maintenance menu, but no luck. Any ideas on what I can do?

Excellent Guide.

Can you show something about how to unclog clogged printhead

jaiswalnilesh - Antwoord

Everyone, save yourself a lot of trouble and start from Step 15. There is no need to remove the casing. I've replaced this print head before and did it successfully while keeping the casing intact. Another tool that can help remove the CSIC assembly is those metal picture frame hooks that have a sharp end on one side and a hook on the other. Looks like a huge fish hook. Just bend it open a little bit to give it a bit of an angle and it fits right in there.

After finish replacing the printhead, the printer stops working and beeps discontinus when I plug in the power cable, and the power button is off.

I encountered difficulties to relocate the tab on the side of the carriage unit (see on step 16)

Please

Does anyone have an explanation for this?

Thank you in advance.

I don’t know if you were able to fix the problem with your EPSON 1400, but if you did I would greatly appreciate it if you could let me know how it was done. This is the exact problem I am experiencing with my 1400

Question, anyone know if thers’s is a “belt” that operates the ink housing and how you would replace it? Looking to buy some used 1400’s and seller described the issue like this to me.
