Part 3: The Tools You Need for a DIY Reset

To reset your Epson ET-2400 waste ink counter, you cannot just press buttons on the printer. Epson has hidden the reset function behind "adjustment programs." You will need:

  1. A Windows PC (Laptop or Desktop): The reset software rarely works on Mac OS or Chrome OS.
  2. A USB Cable: Do not try this over Wi-Fi. Wi-Fi resets frequently fail mid-process.
  3. The Epson ET-2400 Adjustment Program: This is a third-party piece of software that communicates with the printer's internal chip. (Note: Epson does not officially release this. You will find it on technical forums or for purchase online for ~$10-15).
  4. A Replacement Maintenance Box (Optional but Recommended): Part number T04D100. This is the actual physical sponge. If you reset the counter without changing the pad, the ink has nowhere to go and will eventually leak.

How to Reset Ink Level Sensors

The ET-2400 uses transparent tanks, so it doesn't "count" ink like cartridge printers. If you refill a tank and the printer still shows "low," you need to tell the printer you refilled:

  1. Open the scanner unit.
  2. Press and hold the "Stop" button for 5 seconds.
  3. The printer will run a short cycle and reset the ink levels.

Method 1: The Network Reset (Fixing Wi-Fi Issues)

If your ET-2400 is not connecting to your computer or the Wi-Fi light is blinking erratically, a network reset is the first troubleshooting step. This clears the current Wi-Fi configuration but leaves your ink levels and print settings intact.

Steps:

  1. Turn the printer ON.
  2. Press and hold the Network Status Button (the button with the antenna icon) for at least 5 seconds until the network light begins to flash.
  3. Release the button, then immediately press and hold the Network Status Button again for another 5 seconds.
  4. The network light should begin to flash rapidly, indicating the network settings have been cleared.
  5. You can now reconfigure the printer on your computer via the Epson Smart Panel app or printer setup utility.

To truly reset the hardware:

  1. Buy a waste ink bottle kit (external tank).
  2. Open the printer (unscrew bottom case, disconnect waste tubes).
  3. Route waste tube to external bottle.
  4. Reset counter using WIC Reset (see Section 2).
  5. This is a permanent solution.
