Mac OS X (10.8) – How to Install WIC Program from Unidentified Developers

This document describes how to enable installation of applications from sources other than the Mac App Store on Mac OS 10.8 (Mountain Lion).

Background:

By default, Mac OS 10.8 only allows users to install applications from ‘verified sources.’ In effect, this means that users are unable to install most applications downloaded from the internet or stored on physical media without receiving the error message below:

“wicreset” can’t be opened because it is from an unidentified developer

wic reset

Users can follow the directions below to prevent this error message from appearing in one of two ways:

– Changing Gatekeeper’s settings—this is useful for users who download a lot of programs that are not from ‘verified sources.’
– Manually allowing individual applications to launch—this is the best method for users who do not want to change the global setting to allow all applications to run.

“Parts inside your printer are at the end of their life. Please contact your dealer for replacement.”

Got this message?
Want to know what does it means and how to fix it?

Ok. Lets try.
This message appears when the printer “thinks” waste ink pads are full and printing will not resume until the pads are replaced. If the error message is displaying for the very first time, the ink pads will not be full as the counter must be reset.
Ink gets settled in the pads during the initial setup for printing as well as for cleaning and printing border-less snaps. Printer has built in counter which “counts” this wasted inks, which go not for printing and collect in waste ink pads.
For most of the low volume printer users, printer will not display this error message because the amount of wasted inks during printhead cleanings is very small.
If printer usage is high, the printer will give Error Message – “Parts inside your printer are at the end of their life. Please contact your dealer for replacement” when waste ink counters will be overflowed.

My Epson Artisan 1430 gives FATAL ERROR message. How can I reset it by WIC?

This error is determined in the Epson Service Manual as FATAL ERROR. It means the printer can’t finish his selftest. When you turn the power ON the printer begin to check its all systems. If for some reason it cant finish this selftest – the printer gives error message. It means you have to fix the problem first. If the selftest is finished the printer is ready to print.

Solution

There is no actual reset for a “Fatal Error Service Condition”, because its usually caused by either a failing hardware/part problem, or a related servicing and or cleaning of those related parts.
But You can try to solve it by Your hands.

repair

Actualy Fatal Error can be caused by a lot of problems:
– bad lubricate of the carriage guide shaft
– dirty Encoder Strip or Paper Feed Encoder Wheel
– dirty paper feed sensors
– broken ribbon electrical cable going to carriage
– cleaning fluid or inks flowed down the cables into the plug where the ribbon cables enter the print head causing an electrical short and bizzare error messages
– burned electrical fuse on printer main board
– hardware/part related failure
– and many other reasons can give Fatall Error message

Make sure the transportation lock has been removed.
If the CD tray is in the eject position, make sure you press the CD Tray button to retract the tray to the storage position. Never push or pull the CD tray into position.
Turn the Artisan OFF and make sure paper is not jammed inside the unit.

If you have printer with CISS installed make sure the printer carriage can go left and right easy.
Make sure the upper scanner part of printer is closed tightly. Nothing prevents to close it tightly.
The common things You have to do first is to check the Fatal Error number and its description that will point You where should You search the reason. Good site for Fatal Errors codes – FatalErrors.info.

Usualy You have to remove the covers from the printer, remove the print head, cleane the connector thoroughly, clean all sensors, reassemble the printer.

waste ink pad counters need reset

waste ink pad reset

Like so many other products, all Epson consumer ink jet products have a finite life span due to component wear during normal use. At some point, the product will reach a condition where either satisfactory print quality cannot be maintained or components have reached the end of their usable life. This is the normal product life cycle for highly mechanical devices like printers. This message is a warning that certain parts have reached the end of their usable life and that your printer will no longer work until it is serviced.

Waste Ink Pads are actually a number of porous pads in the printer that collect, distribute, and very importantly contain the ink that is not used on printed pages (Waste Ink).

Waste Ink is collected by these pads during the initial setup of the product, during cleaning cycles and when printing borderless photographs.
Some high volume users or those who use the printer for many years with CISS installed may receive the message about ink pads saturated before other components reach the end of their usable life.
In this case you have to reset the waste ink counter and replace waste ink pads if they are full of ink. Many users install waste ink container outside the printer and connect it to waste ink tube. So, now waste inks are collected in outside waste ink container but not in waste ink pads inside the printer. You can easy clears this waste container in any time.

So now You can service Your printer by Yourself and save a lot of money and dont waste Your time to going to service center and waiting for service.
