Epson L4150 L4160 L4170 Resetter Adjustment Program Exclusive [portable] Today
The Ultimate Guide to the Epson L4150, L4160, L4170 Resetter Adjustment Program (Exclusive Edition)
If you own an Epson EcoTank printer—specifically the L4150, L4160, or L4170 models—you have already fallen in love with the high page yield and low cost per print. However, like all inkjet printers, these models come with a hidden "timer." After months or years of heavy use, you will inevitably face the dreaded "Service Required" error or flashing lights that indicate the waste ink pad counter is full.
B. Ink Refill Management
- Problem: The EcoTank models have a "smart" chip that tracks ink volume. If you refill the tank but do not reset the chip, the printer still thinks the tank is empty.
- Solution: The program forces the printer to recognize the new ink level.
- Bricking: Using the wrong version (e.g., using an L4150 resetter on an L4170) can corrupt the firmware EEPROM (Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory), rendering the printer unusable ("bricked").
- Ink Overflow: Resetting the counter does not physically empty the waste ink pads. If the pads are full and the counter is reset without replacing or cleaning the pads, ink will eventually overflow onto the user's desk and damage internal components.
