Epson XP-235 Ink Carriage Will Not Move Over To Replace Cartridge
Hi, To replace the ink cartridge on my Epson XP-235, I have to hold the "stop" button in for 6 seconds for the carriage to move over. However, it just will not budge. Nothing happens. At all. Whatsoever. Yet the printer is otherwise fine. I tried switching it off and on again - the carriage moves no problem when starting up, going through its process as it does when you switch the printer on. The carriage comes to rest at the far right of the printer, then just will NOT move when I hold in the "stop" button to replace the ink. Ive not had it that long - been searching for the receipt this morning as it may even still be under warranty, but I cant find the receipt. There's no rhyme nor reason for this issue - its not been knocked or anything and I had no problem last week when I changed one of the other colours (I always use Epson original inks). I read somewhere to try unplugging the printer and move the carriage manually, but it doesn't move manually. Any and all help will be very much appreciated. thanking you all in advance.......
Is this a good question?

THANKS!!!!! Don't look now why it's not more intuitive. Did not know about holding the stop button.

Holding "Stop" didn't work for me. I solved this by pressing "Start" and hitting "Stop" just as the carriage moved back into the open space.
