How to Reset Your Epson Printer Waste Ink Counters for Free

If you have an Epson printer that is reporting that your ink cartridge is empty after you've refilled it, or that your waste ink pads are saturated and need to be replaced, you may be wondering if there is a way to bypass these messages and continue printing. The good news is that there are some methods to reset your Epson printer waste ink counters for free, using a cartridge chip reset tool, paperclips, or swapping chips with another cartridge. In this article, we will explain how to use each of these methods and what are the pros and cons of each one.

Method 1: Using a Cartridge Chip Reset Tool

A cartridge chip reset tool is a plastic device with pins that, when inserted into the pinholes on your cartridge, reset the chip inside. The pins on the reset tool must line up with your cartridge's holes, which are on the bottom or side edge. Different models' cartridges have different numbers and arrangements of pinholes. To find the right chip reset tool, search the web for "Epson cartridge chip reset tool" along with the exact model of your printer (e.g., WT-7620). Most cartridges have either 7 or 9 pinholes in a cluster. Compare a picture of the pins on the reset tool to the number and arrangement of pinholes on the bottom of your print cartridge before purchasing[^1^].

Once you have the right chip reset tool, follow these steps:

Remove the empty ink cartridge from your Epson printer.

Line up the ink cartridge with the marks displayed at the base of the chip reset tool. Each chip reset tool is uniquely shaped to accommodate ink cartridges from different Epson printer models.

Press the pins on the reset tool firmly into the chip contact holes. The LED on the cartridge tool may blink several times to indicate that a connection is being made. This depends on the reset tool you purchased.

Remove the chip reset tool when the LED turns green. Once the light on the reset tool goes solid, you can disconnect the tool. Your Epson ink cartridge chip is now reset and ready for use.

The advantage of using a cartridge chip reset tool is that it is easy and quick to use, and it works for most Epson printer models. The disadvantage is that you need to buy a specific tool for each model of cartridge, which can be costly and hard to find.

Method 2: Using Paperclips

You can use a paper clip to reset your Epson cartridge chip if there's a single pinhole on the small green microchip on the bottom or side of the cartridge[^1^]. If there are two round metal contacts at the top or bottom of the chip, you'll actually need two paperclips[^2^]. To use this method, follow these steps:

Locate the pinhole(s) or contacts on your cartridge.

Straighten out a paperclip and insert it into the pinhole(s) or contacts. You may need to apply some pressure to make contact with the metal inside.

Hold the paperclip(s) in place for about 10 seconds. You should hear a faint click sound when the chip is reset.

Remove the paperclip(s) and reinsert your cartridge into your printer.

The advantage of using paperclips is that it is cheap and easy to find. The disadvantage is that it may not work for all models of cartridges, and it may damage your cartridge or printer if done incorrectly.

Method 3: Swapping Cartridge Chips

If you have another cartridge that has a compatible chip with your empty one, you can swap their chips and trick your printer into thinking that your refilled cartridge is new[^3^]. To do this, follow these steps:

Remove both cartridges from your printer.

Use a small screwdriver or knife to pry off the plastic cover that holds the chip on each cartridge. Be careful not to damage the chip or its contacts.

Swap the chips between the cartridges. Make sure they are aligned correctly and fit 061ffe29dd
