Step-by-Step Guide to Resetting the EEPROM and Waste Ink Counter 1. Configure the Operating System Enviornment reset eprom epson 1410 adjustment program top
The printer stores critical data in its chip (on the main board), including:
The printer doesn't have a physical sensor to check if the waste ink pads are wet. It estimates usage using an algorithmic counter. Once that counter hits 100%, the printer locks down to prevent ink from spilling over your desk.
: If you must perform a full EPROM reset, there is typically an option like " EPROM initialization " or " EEPROM Init " in the "Particular adjustment mode" menu. Executing this function will clear all personalized settings from your printer, including the waste ink counter, head alignment data, and PF deterioration values, returning it to a factory-fresh state. Select the counters again and click
Resetting the software counter does not physically clean the ink pads. If your printer has reached its limit, the waste pads are likely saturated with ink. To prevent leakage, you should physically replace the pads or install an External Waste Ink Bottle to collect excess ink.
Locate the small clear/black silicone tube that channels waste ink from the capping station down into the internal pads. Disconnect this tube from the internal pad housing gently.
Click the button. The software will read your printer's internal memory and display the current point count and percentage. If it reads 100%, your printer is locked. Run it as an administrator on your PC
: Some versions of the Adjustment Program have an additional step. You might need to right-click on the program icon and select "Reset protection counter" from a drop-down menu. The program will ask if you have replaced the ink pad. Select "Yes" or "OK", and it will then reset the counter. This step is often required for the reset to be fully effective.
Epson programs a digital counter inside the printer’s EEPROM (Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory) chip to estimate when these physical pads will become fully saturated with liquid ink. If the printer allowed you to keep printing indefinitely, excess ink would eventually overflow the pads, leak out of the bottom of the printer casing, and ruin your desk, carpets, or internal electronic circuitry.
Click on the button on the right side of the main screen.
clears specific counters and flags—particularly the waste ink counter . However, some versions of the program offer a “EEPROM Reset” button that resets all service data to factory defaults. This can be dangerous because it erases calibration data, potentially making print quality worse.
