Free Epson 4900 - Needs Work

Free Epson 4900 - Needs Work

2016-04-08 by homershannon@...

Mark Savoia at Still River generously gave me a used Epson 4900 that did need some work. I've not been able to solve its problems and I've reached the end of my efforts to restore it. I will give it away to anyone willing to come to Windham NH and pick it up.

The unit has 11 nice Cone cartridges in it and is in physically good condition. It just doesn't print worth a hand and now it it getting an error 1497.

Contact me off line at homershannon@hotmail.com

This error is due to the damper assembly motor being bad (aka getting ink it or burning out) and needing replacement . . .

I’ll PM you.
