Epson Ink Pad Needs Service | Reset Ink Pad Counter for Epson Printer

[@lilikaferreira1]

My God, you were the only one who actually managed to explain it properly. Thank you very much.

[@lahelak2052]

I quite literally wanted to cry, I was about to buy a new printer, that error msg pulled up on me at the worst time ever! I am so glad I came across this video. Thank you very much!

[@misscoleone]

Same here can't wait to try ❤

[@Ed-qq6ux]

Thanks a ton. Nice quick to the point video. Epson should be ashamed of this sort of practice and it should be criminal. Imagine car manufacture one morning locking you out of your car and requiring dealer maintenance because your cabin air filter needed replacing. Then requiring a tow to the shop and dealer labor and parts to replace it. It is infuriating this sort of hostage software is legal.

[@bonniebccanada5113]

I can't agree more after tomer service for over an hour on a long distance charge because they don't have 800 numbers and having a representative repeat only one thing over and over again, saying these parts are not replaceable. You have to go to a service repair who wants a $150 to fix period none of them speak English clearly hard to hear hard to understand and the other thing they do is repeat the same thing over and over again because they really don't know the answer other than what the written notes. Tell them the alternative was he offered me a 25% discount. On a limited time, purchase of a new machine period Can't believe How Inafficient, this company is the only thing today is. Money, money, money, no wonder our landfills are so full. Strictly a throw away non ecological company.

[@clems_enumclaw_powersports]

100%! I mean our printer is literally like 6 months old!

[@Flecha57]

At last I found the solution to my problem! Straight to the point. No mumbo jumbo or annoying background music. My kind of video. 👋👋👋 Thanks so much. 🤩🤩🤩

[@LoveSunMoonStars]

8-30-23 Reset ink pad and cleaning for my Epson printer was such a relief. It’s old and I still loved it. But everything I read and watched and asked about made me want to pull my hair out. You deserve sainthood for coming to my rescue. Thank you😊

[@vannessacarranza4552]

It didn’t work for me I’m so lost

[@tben-xc2fg]

Had my printer 4 years before this happened. Your fix saved me as I called Epson and got their price of 25.00 and 3 weeks to get a replacement and they told me there is no key to reset the counter but I would have to have a service technician do that after I replaced the part. I cleaned it myself and used your suggestion to fix mine. The hard part was waiting for the clean felt pads to dry. I put mine in the over at 170 degrees for several hours and they finally dried. It would be nice to have a set of pads on hand because it was messy, messy, messy. Wear rubber gloves!

[@marcosroldan4297]

can I put them in the dryer?

[@beckykleiner1645]

YOU'RE A LIFE SAVER! This is absolutely amazing and it worked for my epson, which is a different model than yours! I am sooooooo happy -- you have no idea!

[@kristinskrien3882]

You are brilliant! I bought a new printer thinking there was no way to fix this problem, without taking it into an Epson repair center, which was NOT close to my house. Lo and Behold, I followed your steps and it worked perfectly and by downloading the WIC reset, I was able to clear the error pad and gain more life in my printer. This is amazing and I cannot thank you enough for posting this video. Now I can return the new printer. Thank you!

[@doramelendez5381]

It worked! After watching 30 million videos lol. THANK YOU I was just thinking of buying a new printer 😅

[@yoohey]

I don't have an Epson service center near my area and I use my printer every day for my small business. Finally, I don't have to buy a new one once a year anymore. Thank you so much!!!!!

[@samiebennett352]

I can't thank you enough. I got a big order printed 2 pages then the error popped up. This video saved me and bought me some time. It was super easy and straight to the point. Thanks so very much.

[@HBCBoutique-uv8in]

YOU just saved my life with this!!! I knew the waste ink pad was getting full & then it froze quit working.. I replaced the waste ink pad itself but EPSON told me there was NOT a reset key for it! WELL THANK YOU!! I had instructions from the company I bought the waste pad refill from, but MADE NO SENSE! THIS video saved my life & my business! THANK YOU!!!

[@suzycue1588]

Thank you so much! Got the dreaded inkpad end of service message and was about to throw my ET-2720 in the trash after I found out it would cost $150 to replace the inkpads! Found your tutorial, did the reset and now waiting on my pads to dry!

[@amytoren3357]

Wow!! Thank you sooo much! I cleaned out my pads and didn’t realize it was pointless if I didn’t reset the counters. Everything I was reading was making it sound like you HAD to go through Epson to do this and then I found your video. Worked great!!

[@necarivera4568]

Omg I was totally freaking out because I was in the middle of a order when this error popped up. Tysm for this video. Lifesaver lol

[@andreedesorcy2415]

All i can say is God bless you!!! Hours of frustration and tears to come across your video and fixed in 5 min. Thank you !!!! xoxoxo

[@alissaofficer6394]

OMG I was about to cry! This fixed my issue in about 5 minutes!!! Thank you so much!! I need to upgrade my 2803 but not today! I've had my printer for about 3 years and I'm so happy I can keep it going a bit longer

[@krissymorine1549]

I keep getting a message after enter the key query rejected. I have the same printer did your program tell you this? I can't get mine to work

[@bizzeemom3905]

Literal life saver! Just an FYI, I was able to use the “trial” twice! I thought I would try again before I purchased a key, and it worked!

[@diyxedesigns3766]

Oh good to know!

[@bethreddy89]

Thank you so much!! My printer started showing this error after 6 weeks... so annoying. It's a refurbished one so I'm guessing it wasn't reset before I bought it. Supposedly under warranty but i use it every single day for my business, so who has time for all that? I won't mind paying for a key now that I know the process actually works! Again thank you so much for this tutorial. ❤️

[@mischasweets1]

Same! This was actually my replacement for the first refurbished one. Same boat 🚢 😪

[@coldrk]

Wait mine is brand new and it says it requires service? Could this mean that the seller lied that it is new ?

[@bethreddy89]

@@coldrk if it was sold as new, I'd contact the seller. If it was sold as refurbished, this might not have been included in the refurbishment. One way to tell would be by carefully removing the ink tank (you can find instructions/videos online) and seeing if there is a lot of ink in it.

[@tpiacenz]

Be sure to watch until the end for the free code, I made this mistake but am still so grateful for your video! Thank you so much! So glad I didn't need to buy a new printer. I love my Epson 2720 and am happy that I don't need to replace it!

[@zachgray4767]

For the skeptical person scrolling through the comments looking for complaints like I did: It actually works. The program kept freezing up for me on Windows 10, but closing the assistant window that pops up by default and clicking on the buttons manually did it for me.

[@moniquedinkins282]

How did you get it to download to your computer?

[@diveshkapoor]

This video should be nominated for "Internet Name your Reward".

[@Ohhelmno]

Nice, appreciate the video as a professional with no access to Epson’s licensed software I was able to use this to successfully help out a client today, worked perfectly. Wish there was a free version that would do the complete reset but, hey beggars can’t be choosers. Beware of some of the other links floating around out there because upon investigation most of them are viruses or malware of some sort and this was the only one I could find that was somewhat legitimate.

[@brittanylevan5988]

I could not ask for a better tutorial on this. Thank you so so much!

[@about3571]

I watch a hundred videos and pay for keys. This was the only one that worked. Thanks 🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@TheGasman1950]

You are absolutely The Best!! I agree with many of the other positive comments listed herein, you succinctly put together a no nonsense tutorial with a quick remedy. Although our Epson ET-2760 has been an the best overall printer I've owned over the years, this built-in, call the technician flaw was almost a crippling experience since we didn't see it coming! Thanks to you, I am planning ahead to avoid any future unexpected shutdowns! Thanks again!
