Epson WorkForce Pro WF-4720 / WF-4730 Print Head Decoder Card
The Epson WorkForce Pro WF-4720 Print Head Decoder Card is a specialized electronic solution designed to enhance the versatility and cost-efficiency of your WorkForce Pro series printer. This decoder card acts as a permanent bypass for the ink cartridge chip recognition system, allowing the printer to operate without the limitations of standard proprietary chips.
By installing this OEM-grade decoder, users can successfully implement Continuous Ink Supply Systems (CISS) or refillable cartridge setups on their WF-4720 and WF-4730 models. This modification is essential for high-volume office printing, eliminating the need for constant cartridge replacements and preventing "ink out" errors that interrupt critical workflows.
Key Performance Features
- Chip-Free Printing: Effectively bypasses the ink cartridge chip requirement for uninterrupted operation.
- Cost Optimization: Enables the use of bulk third-party inks, reducing total cost per page by up to 85%.
- Precise Synchronization: Engineered to communicate seamlessly with the WF-4720/WF-4730 mainboard and print head.
- Stable Performance: Built with high-quality circuit components to ensure consistent signal transmission without firmware errors.
- Workflow Efficiency: Removes the necessity of frequent chip resetting or physical cartridge removal.
- Broad Compatibility: Supports a wide range of external ink delivery systems and refillable ink tanks.

Technical Installation & Safety
- Professional Installation: This board requires direct integration with the printer's electronics. Installation by a professional technician is highly recommended.
- Manual Ink Leveling: As the decoder will report ink levels as full, users must visually monitor their physical ink supply to prevent the print head from running dry.
- Firmware Maintenance: Avoid performing official firmware updates after installation to prevent the bypass from being disabled by software patches.
