How to reset your Epson Printer Counters September 18, 2007 09:26 by John Sollars

How do I reset the protection counter on my Epson printer?

With most Epson printers you can reset them using a program called SSC for Epson

This allows you to reset the protection counter and continue using the printer after Epson has decided it needs to be 'repaired'. Unfortunately this software doesn't work with the new range of Epson printers, but there is a way to bypass this issue.

Use the program at http://www.refillingcartridge.com/wp-content/tools/ResetterForC79.zip

1. Make sure you printer is ON and connected to your computer
2. Change your computer's date to 1 Nov 2006
3. Run AdjProg.exe file
4. Click Accept button
5. Click "Particular adjustment mode"
6. Select on "Waste ink pad counter" and click OK button
7. Click on "Initialization" button and the program will reset the protection counter
8. Click Finish button
9. Change your computer's date back

Once that is done the Waste Ink Counter should be reset and you will be able to print once again, without having to buy a new printer.
