How to Reset Waste Ink Pad Counter for Epson L110, L210, L300, L350 and L355

During Epson’s printer cleaning cycle, it dispels ink from its nozzles down a waste pipe into an absorbent pad. Epson has put a counter in their printers that counts every page passed through the printer and has set the printer to shut down after a certain number to prevent overflow of the waste ink pad. Usually, your printer’s waste pad is around 40% to 80% full when the printer starts showing an error message. After the initial message, you can only print 20 pages before your Epson printer refuses to print anymore. There is a workaround that you can use to reset the counter to its initial state. Follow these steps to solve “Epson waste ink pad in the printer is saturated” error.

Warning: Ideally, you should reset the counter when you clean or replace the waste pad. Try to clean or replace the waste ink pad as soon as possible to avoid overflow of ink and any possible damage to your printer.
