Instructions
1. Turn the printer off. Remove the back access panel on the printer by removing its screw with the screwdriver.
2. Locate the tube for the cleaning pump with the help of a flashlight. The tube is on the lower left portion of the printer and has an open end.
3. Pull the tube out through the access panel with the use of a wire coat hanger.
4. Place the end of the tube into the plastic container.
5. Tape the tube to the side of the plastic container using duct tape. This keeps them together if the printer is bumped or moves while printing. Turn on the printer.
6. Press and hold the "Stop," "Maintenance" and "Power" buttons at once for 10 to 15 seconds. A message appears saying the printer has been reset.
7. Turn off the printer and unplug it from the wall. Wait for one to two minutes.
8. Plug the Epson R300 back into the wall. Turn the printer back on.
