FAQs
An InkPad Resetter is a tool or utility used to reset the waste ink counter of an inkjet printer, particularly those that have a built-in waste ink pad or collection system. Over time, as a printer operates, it uses a small portion of ink for cleaning and maintenance cycles. This ink is absorbed by a pad or sponge inside the printer, often referred to as the “waste ink pad.” Once this pad reaches its capacity, the printer may display an error or stop functioning, signaling that the waste ink pad is full.
Purpose:
The InkPad Resetter is primarily used to reset the waste ink counter after the ink pad has reached its maximum capacity. This reset allows the printer to continue functioning as though the pad is empty, bypassing the warning or error that indicates the pad is full. It’s a common tool for printers from manufacturers like Epson, Canon, and Brother, which use a waste ink counter system.
- The resetter communicates with the printer’s firmware to reset the internal counter that tracks the amount of waste ink accumulated.
- Some resetters are software tools that you can run from your computer while the printer is connected, while others might be standalone devices.
- Prevent Printer Shutdown: Printers will often stop working once the waste ink counter is full, even if the physical ink pad isn’t actually full or needs replacement.
- Cost-Effective: Replacing the ink pad or servicing the printer can be expensive. The resetter allows the user to continue printing without replacing the pad.
- Maintenance: Some users simply want to extend the life of their printer before doing more thorough maintenance or repairs.
Each model’s cost ranges from 10 USD to 30 USD or more depending on the model of the resetter program. Price can be negotiable at a reasonable price.
Yes. It is 100% safe. Normally, all resetters are detected as viruses but these are considered False Positives. It is because the program can adjust the printer settings.
