3 Ways to Reset your EPSON Printer Waste Ink Counters!

hello everybody rodriguez here i may have mentioned no i really did mention that epson printers do have an advantage over canon printers in this one regard as you all know printers generate waste ink and that is due to cleaning cycles that may be needed canon printers generate them pretty much automatically as needed in order to keep your printer free of clogs not so much with epson printers unless you wait a specific amount of time in other words a month maybe on a large format printer when you restart the printer it will generate a cleaning cycle just to kind of help you in case you have a clog it doesn't really know you have a clog yet until you run a nozzle check well this ink has to go somewhere now on printers i have stationary cartridges from epson those printers are usually provided to you with user replaceable wasting cartridges or tanks now on printers that have cartridges that right on the printhead that is different that ink that is generated the wasting goes to the internal wasting pads now there are ways for you to disassemble certain panels and access those tubes that lead to the waste ink pads and then re-route them outside to a bottle so that you can collect your wasting rather than dumping it internally so there are videos that show you how to do that on youtube and also on octo octoinc.co.uk there's a series of instructions because they also sell a tool that will allow you to then reset that waste encounter now what happens let's get to the point here what happens when the encounters reach max your printer ceases to work it has reached the end of its life at least that part of its life so you need something to be able to regenerate to bring it back to life again and that's where certain tools come in and i'm going to demonstrate three of them from the most difficult ones to the sort of difficult one and then the most simple way for you to reset and it's not just because i have become friends with them inkchip.net provides you the quickest easiest way to reset your counters back to zero meaning that your printer is going to think is brand new now it's imperative that you reroute those tubes outside in fact do it before any of this happens do it before you reach that point where the printer just ceases to operate that way you will keep those pads at least for the life of the printer from now on super clean all right let's begin now the first one we're going to examine is the adjustment programs what is that well it is a tool used by the technicians at a service center to perform all sorts of different operations they're a little bit dangerous to use in on experienced hands but i'm going to show you exactly what you need to do if you happen to own one of these tools how to reset your counters we're going to go through a mock reset because i have already done it on a specific video that i provided inkjet.net on the r2000 they have also provided me with three extra keys we're going to utilize those for the epson r2880 and the 1400 either the 1400 1430 and also the 3000 so i have to bring those over here connect them to my computer and we'll proceed to create three videos that i will be uploading within the next few weeks all right so let's jump right into it we'll open up the folder now you see there's a lot of stuff here don't let that scare you now when you download these let me warn you often they will be seen as a virus or even a trojan you have to allow the file to exist the reason being these are hacking programs these are system hacking programs that the technicians use in order to allow them to perform all of these functions on the printer's eepron chip now for us to be able to utilize these they had to hack it in a way that is a little bit different meaning that i no longer have to log on to the service server in order for me to perform these functions i can actually do it pretty much offline so that is the reason why it may show up as a bad entity but nevertheless nothing to fear we're going to right click run as administrator and we'll be presented by this so what we're going to do we're going to go ahead and not decline we're going to accept and rather than select we're going to go to particular adjustment mode now notice i i'm going through several steps here and we get this other window appearing so we're going to avoid all of this this is all very highly technical stuff that only a service technician would have to address all we care about is this item right here waist ink pad counter we're going to click on that activate it and click ok we will then be brought to this window we're going to click the boxes there are two ways encounters the main one is the one that accounts for the waste ink generated when you run a cleaning cycle a perch cycle as you are installing cartridges every now and then you will run a so-called head re-priming or perch cycle and that will generate wasting that ink goes into the waste ink pad then there's a secondary waste ink producer and that is when you print borderless that ink is absorbed by the sponges along the platen we activate both of them we're going to go ahead and click on check and it says the counter value has been read properly and i'm very low okay i'm almost i'm almost as brand new condition at this point we're going to click on the initialization and that will basically reset everything back to zero we're not going to do that right now all you have to do is click reinstallation and then turn off your printer power it back on and you are good to go so that is that you notice we had to go through various steps and again this type of file or application may scare some people because they think it's actually a bad entity but it is not it's just simply because it's going to access system files and of course it's going to do it kind of under the radar so that's why it is read as a bad entity we'll close everything up now let's go to our second choice and that is the famous wic reset tool that's available from various companies like i said octoinc dot co dot uk sells waste in kits or recovery kits that you install following their instructions for many many many printer models from epson unfortunately you cannot do this on canon printers so only epson so you open this simply by double clicking it here is the epson stylus pro 1000 we're going to go ahead and click on read waste encounters it reads them the same values as we had prior and now when we try to reset it it's going to ask us for a serial activation code the other one doesn't ask you for anything it just performs the reset and you are basically done you don't have to spend any money this requires about 9.99 i believe us 10 us to be able to uh activate your printer and this you do gosh i don't know every several years so well worth it you can buy a reset key right here and then just copy and paste it onto this spot right here and then click ok and then you will be able to reset again you power the printer off back on again and you can recheck your settings and you will find them to be at the same level that i have rather minimal okay now we're gonna go to the most easy trouble-free way to reset these waste encounters on these supported epson printers and there's a list of all the supported printers in the inkchip.net website if you click on the wic tab double click on it it's going to open up like so waste encounters click on that read the waste encounters it gives you the readings okay and we're going to go back here reset enter the code click ok turn the printer off start it back up you are done that is it costs the same the application is free you can download it from the inkjet.net site and begin to use it after you purchase a reset key which again is about 9.99 10 u.s that is it how about that was that the easiest thing you ever saw i believe it was it doesn't get any better than that they also provide a way to render many epson printers chipless and that means that you will no longer have to rely on a chip yes i just said that you no longer rely on a chip your ink level indicators will always be full so all you have to do if you are already refilling these printers is to maintain a proper level of ink and a lot of these refillable cartridges are basically see-through so you can tell right through the cartridge body whether you have ink or not now there is a promo code that you can use chipless joe you heard me chipless joe and i believe they gave you a discount so again if you are getting close to that point or even if you have no clue at what level your waist impacts may be and remember this will not work on printers with user replaceable waste ink tanks cartridges or whatever you want to call them only on approved or supported printers that are listed on the wic tab of the inkchip.net website so have a look again it will bring your printer back to life if it has reached that point and often what happens when the printer saturation wasting saturation level reaches max that doesn't necessarily mean the pads are saturated to the point where that they will overflow no you can salvage it at that point but i highly recommend that you then perform the operation to actually disconnect the tubes and then connect a longer piece of tubing or two and then feed those outside i have done that on my r2000 my 1900 my 1400s my 2880s and when i had a 2200 i did that as well to them in fact i'm the one that developed the process how to install them also the 2400 so any of those older or even slightly newer epson printers that do not have user replaceable waste ink cartridges can be reset to empty basically and brought back to life which is something that will make you feel well supernatural almost when you perform that operation thank you so much don't forget chipless joe okay when you purchase the serial activation codes from inkchip.net thank you so much don't forget to subscribe share and like and as always happy printing and again happy resetting of your printer's waist ink counters okay bye bye everyone you
