| Warning | Explanation | |---------|-------------| | | Reset without cleaning/replacing the waste ink pad will eventually cause ink overflow and internal damage. | | Void warranty | Using third-party service tools voids Epson’s warranty. | | False positives | Antivirus software may flag the tool as a virus. It is often a false positive due to low-level hardware access. Still, scan with multiple engines before use. | | Brick risk | Incorrect use (e.g., resetting wrong counters, power loss during reset) can corrupt EEPROM, making the printer unusable. | | Not for clogged heads | This tool does not fix clogged nozzles. Use only for counter reset. | : Open the program and select the L382
You can open the printer, remove the old pads, wash them with water, dry them completely, and reinsert them. Alternatively, you can purchase a "Waste Ink Tank" kit to feed the waste ink into an external bottle.
