Reset Epson L396 Online

Epson L396

To reset your , you typically need to address one of three issues: a "Service Required" message (waste ink pad counter), network settings, or a general hardware reset. 1. Resetting the Waste Ink Pad Counter

1. Install an external waste ink tank: Drill a small hole in the back of the case and route the waste tubes into an external bottle. This completely eliminates the risk of leakage.
2. Minimize head cleaning: Only run a head cleaning when absolutely necessary. Each cleaning saturates the waste pad.
3. Use genuine Epson ink: Third-party inks often require more cleaning cycles due to clogging, filling the pad faster.
4. Keep the printer covered: Dust is a major cause of clogs. When not in use, throw a cloth over the L396.

1. Press the Home button on the printer’s control panel.
2. Use the arrow keys to navigate to Settings (gear icon).
3. Scroll down to Restore Default Settings.
4. Select Reset All Settings.
5. Confirm with Yes.
