How to Hack Epson L200's Waste Ink Pad
Introduction
Go to step 1The Epson L200 and similar ink tank models are great, the ink replacements are very efficient and let you print much more for the money it costs replacing them. The big flaw is the waste ink pad.
The printer has a limited amount of times that it can clean the printer's nozzles and do a power ink flush to clean the printer heads. Once the printer reaches it's limits it's software will block you from printing on any computer. Now this is to protect the waste ink pad from overflowing with waste ink but the printer is designed in a way so that it is very hard to replace it.
First you need a software that is available online from many sites to reset the waste ink pad error counter on your printer, I only found it available for PC from this link: http://appuals.com/step-step-guide-reset...
and after that you can follow this guide and even look for youtube videos on how to do this.
What you need
-
-
A wild Epson Printer appears.
-
Turn it around and look for a small door.
-
-
Tool used on this step:Desoldering Pump$3.99
-
With the help of a syringe or anything that can suck liquid, clean the remaining ink from the tube.
-
I also went ahead and cleared the pad from as much ink as I could, it can buy you a bit more life span to the pad if you are in a hurry to print and not have the replacement items for this hack.
-
-
-
Put a connector on the end of the aquarium tube and connect it to the top of the bottle. Make sure that there is no chance of spilling or else you will have a big black spot of ink under your printer.
-
I inserted another connector on the top side of the bottle to release any pressure created by the ink coming in and the air in the bottle.
-
-
-
I placed the bottle in a lower elevation than the printer so that the ink can travel down the tube easier.

Epson l200 resetter adjustment software is a program to reset the waste ink pad counter on your printer. <a href="https://epsonadjprog.blogspot.com/2019/0... ">Epson L200 resetter</a> thank you
you can use this waste ink to black tank again
That was the easy part. The problem part is that the printer is keeping count of how many cleaning flushes it does, and at a certain number will stop printing until you either get a new one or reset the counter.
Did you notice that I included information on your comment in the guide description? Other users also replied with information on how to reset the count. Hope that helps!
Very Nice Thank you
