Every time your printer performs a cleaning cycle or initializes, it sprays ink into a waste pad located at the bottom of the machine. The printer keeps a digital count of how much ink has been used. Once this count reaches a pre-set limit, the printer locks itself to prevent potential ink overflow and physical damage.

The resetter software resets this digital counter back to zero, telling the printer that the waste pad is "new," allowing you to continue printing. The Epson L3250 is a popular EcoTank all-in-one
