Epson L4150 L4160 L4170 Resetter Adjustment Program Exclusive Direct

Ultimate Guide to the Epson L4150, L4160, and L4170 Resetter Adjustment Program

If your Epson L-Series printer has suddenly stopped working with a "Service Required" message or flashing red lights, you likely need a Waste Ink Pad reset. This guide covers everything you need to know about the Epson L4150, L4160, and L4170 Resetter Adjustment Program, a specialized tool used to clear internal counters and restore printer functionality. What is the Epson Adjustment Program?

The Epson Adjustment Program (often called a "Resetter") is model-specific service software designed for maintenance and internal counter management.

Modern printers like the L4150, L4160, and L4170 use internal sponge pads to collect excess ink during cleaning cycles. Once the printer's firmware determines these pads are full—based on a "Waste Ink Pad Counter"—it locks the printer to prevent ink from overflowing and causing damage. Key Features of the Resetter

Waste Ink Pad Counter Reset: Clears the count back to 0% so you can continue printing.

EEPROM Initialization: Resets the printer’s memory to factory defaults.

Print Head Cleaning: Triggers deep cleaning cycles more intensive than the standard user menu. Ultimate Guide to the Epson L4150, L4160, and

Ink Charge: Forces ink through the system after a repair or long period of inactivity. How to Use the L4150, L4160, & L4170 Resetter

To successfully reset your printer, follow these specific steps:

Preparation: Ensure your printer is connected to a Windows PC via a USB cable. This software generally does not work over Wi-Fi.

Launch Software: Run the AdjProg.exe file. If prompted, select your specific model (e.g., L4160) from the menu. Enter Maintenance Mode: Click on Particular Adjustment Mode.

Select Waste ink pad counter from the Maintenance tab and click OK. Check & Initialize:

Check the boxes for "Main pad counter" and click Check to see the current percentage. Troubleshooting Common Errors | Error Message | Solution

Once confirmed, click Initialize. A pop-up will ask for confirmation; click OK.

Restart: When the program displays "Please turn off the printer," power off your device, wait 10 seconds, and turn it back on. Your red light error should now be gone. Troubleshooting Common Reset Issues

Communication Error: Usually caused by a loose USB cable or the printer being in the middle of a print job. Clear all pending documents before trying again.

Anti-Virus Interference: Many antivirus programs flag adjustment tools as "false positives." You may need to temporarily disable your protection to run the utility.

Physical Pad Replacement: Resetting the software does not physically clean the sponges. If you reset the counter multiple times without replacing the ink pads, ink may eventually leak from the bottom of the printer. Exclusive Tips for L-Series Owners

Manual Cleaning: For minor streaks, you can manually trigger a head cleaning by holding the Cancel button for 3 seconds until the power light blinks. If your printer is under warranty: Do not use the resetter

Mobile Printing: After resetting, you can resume using the Epson Print Enabler for Android or AirPrint for iOS.

Alternative: Replacement vs. Resetter

If your printer is under warranty: Do not use the resetter. Send it to Epson.
If the printer is 3+ years old: Use the resetter. The cost of official repair ($150+) is more than a new EcoTank ($199).
If you print 500+ pages monthly: Install a simple waste ink bottle mod (external tank) and use the resetter monthly.
