Epson Resetter Tool L380 New! [TRUSTED]

⚠️ Critical Warning:
Do not confuse the Waste Ink Pad Counter Reset with refilling the ink tanks. This guide is for resetting the printer’s internal counter so it stops saying “Service Required” or “Parts at the end of their service life” (error codes like 0xF1, 0xF8, 0x9A).
Physically, the waste ink pads may still be full. Ignoring this can cause ink to leak inside your printer.

Alternatives to the Resetter Tool

If you cannot get the Epson Resetter Tool L380 to work, consider these options: epson resetter tool l380

  1. Manual EEPROM reset: Advanced users can desolder the EEPROM chip and reprogram it with a CH341a programmer. Not recommended for beginners.
  2. Third-party maintenance box: Some companies sell external waste ink tanks for the L380. These bypass the counter entirely by diverting waste ink to an external bottle. Installation is moderate.
  3. Replace the printer: On sale, a new L380 (or its successor, the L3800) can cost as little as $150. If you have already reset the counter twice, replacement might be more cost-effective.
