Epson R200, R210, R300, R310 Waste Ink Counter Pad Reset
Software resetter for Epson R200, R210, R300 and R310 to reset waste ink counter pad.
Here is how to reset the waste counter for the Epson R200, R210, R300 and R310 printers.
- Press and hold “Stop”, “Maintenance”, and “Power” buttons for about 10 seconds. A message will come on the screen saying counter is reset and to turn the printer off. The R200 and others don’t have a screen so just wait until the 10 seconds is up.
- Turn the printer off, unplug the power cord. Wait about 1 minute and power the printer back up. The counter will be reset. That’s all there is to the reset procedure.
Is the waste pad full ?
If the waste pad is actually full and ink is about to overflow, then you need to install a waste container. You can see the waste pad by opening the access panel on the back of the printer.
Changing the waste pad requires almost complete disassembly of the printer, it is a big job. There is an easier way.
Open the access panel on the rear of the printer (remove screw) and look inside carefullly with a flashlight. You will see a tube (down and to your left) coming from the cleaning pump and it will have an open end on it. This is the tube that delivers ink to the waste pad.
Use a piece of coathanger wire or equivalent, and fish out this piece of tube. Bring it to the outside of the printer, thru the access panel.
Find yourself a suitable container (Tupperware or a plastic cup or jar) that is not too tall. Put the tube into this container and secure the tube and container so they won’t come apart or lose connection if the printer is moved.
If you wish you can make a hole or notch in the access panel cover so it can be replaced.
Now the ink will go into this container and not into the waste pad inside the printer. If it gets full, dump it.

will this procedure also good with epson r230? thank you.
I have a R200 which is approx 2.5 ish years old. The three button reset DID not work for me, however after installing a waste ink tank (as per the instructions)I downloaded the ssc service utility and succesfully re-set all counters, my R200 is as good as new. Many Many thanks to the uploaders.
@kevin, why not try ssc software to reset your printer, maybe it resolved your problem
Hi all and many thanks to everyone who replied to my post.
To clarify my current status (in the order that it was carried out);
1)External waste ink tank was installed as per instructions on this site (very easy and clear to understand). Many thanks to the uploader.
2)Following a link (on this site) I downloaded the ssc epson service utility and (again) following instructions I reset the waste ink counter (you will receive a screen display saying you have been successful).
3) Power down the printer and then restart.
4) Watch the waste ink tank whilst the printer is “priming” its print heads (you will be surprised).
BTW either empty the ink tank when full or replace it (mine is a plastic cap off a shaving foam aerosol can).
DO NOT RESET THE COUNTER without installing a external ink tank or changing the ink pads, you are asking for trouble all over your Axminster.
The above fix worked for me and I cannot claim any credit for the content.

Hi anyone has the Work Force resetter epson 323??? I need it urgently, thanks
You dont need reset software. Reset waste by buttons. If You want to know waste ink counters value – you can use free WIC Reset Utility program.
The WIC Reset Utility Is NOT FREE. You have to buy a key to use the software, which is basically the Same as the Free software that Epson provides.
can someone please send me the resetter for the epson r360 I am pulling my hair out looking for it, I have replaced the pads but can’t get it reset thanks for reading
I had an old R200, the button reset method did not work. However the SSC utility did. It was very easy to do and remember, adding the external waste ink tank is essential. Thanks for you help, great site.
