  • A Windows PC (Highly Recommended): Most reset utilities are Windows-based. Mac support is limited.
  • A USB Cable: While Wi-Fi is convenient, resets are far more reliable over a direct USB connection.
  • Adjustment Program (WICReset or Epson Adjustment Program): This is third-party software. The official Epson service utility is only available to authorized service centers. For home users, the most trusted tool is WICReset (Waste Ink Counter Reset tool). There is a free version (which shows counters) and a paid version (which performs the reset). Alternatively, you can find older versions of the "Epson Adjustment Program" online, but exercise caution with malware.
  • The Reset Key (If using official service program): Some utilities require a unique reset key purchased per printer model.
  • The New Waste Ink Pad (Optional but Recommended): Resetting the counter without replacing or emptying the physical waste ink pad will cause ink to leak inside your printer later. You should either buy a replacement pad kit or perform a "tank empty" procedure (described later).
