Solution

1.   Replacing the waste ink pad

2.   Reset the waste ink pad counter

1.   Replacing the waste ink pad

The waste ink pad assy for the Epson L110 / L111 is on the back, the bottom side of the printer. Here's how to remove the waste ink pad assy.

• Look at the back of the printer. Remove the bolts at the bottom

• Tilt the printer and then remove the Waste Ink Pad Assy

• We recommend replacing the waste ink pad with a new one. If the waste ink pad is not commercially available, an alternative solution is to clean the waste ink pad, dry it, and then reinstall it. Make sure the waste ink pad is completely dry before installing.

• After replacing the waste ink pad, reinstall the waste ink pad assy, then turn on the printer.

2.   Reset the waste ink pad counter

To reset the waste ink pad counter, it can be done in two ways, namely Sequential adjustment mode and Particular adjustment mode. For the Sequential adjustment mode, it has been discussed in the discussion above. Next we will reset the waste ink pad counter with the Particular adjustment mode method.

• After the Waste ink pad assy is finished installing, turn on the printer, connect the printer to the PC with a USB cable. Adjustment program can be used on Windows operating system (10, 8, 7, Vista, XP), with a USB cable connection (not wireless).

• Open AdjProg - Select (1) - Model Name: L110 (2) - Port: select USB port Epson L110 (3) - click OK (4) - Particular adjustment mode (5)

• Select Waste ink pad counter (6) - OK (7)

• Check the Main pad counter (8) then click Check (9) to find out the value of Main pad counter before resetting. If the Main pad counter value is equal to 100% or close to 100%, it means the waste ink pad is full. Next we will reset the waste ink pad counter to zero.

• Check the Main pad counter (10) then click Initialization (11) to reset the waste ink pad counter to zero. Follow the instructions that appear on the screen until they are finished during the reset process, after the Initialization process is complete, press Finish (12). Done.

Questions and Answers

Q: There is an error "A printer's ink pad is at the end of its service life" on my printer. If the waste ink pad counter is reset, but the waste ink pad is not replaced or cleaned. Can the printer return to normal?

A: Because the waste ink pad counter has been reset, the printer can be reused, but because the waste ink pad is not replaced or cleaned, in the near future, the waste ink will overflow from the printer because the waste ink pad can no longer hold the waste ink . Resetting the waste ink pad counter becomes effective if the waste ink pad is replaced with a new one.

Q: Error Code: 20000xxx when using the Adjustment Program. What to do?

A: Communication error! Error Code: 20000xxx occurs because the printer is not ready to accept commands from the Adjustment Program because it is still busy processing the previous command.

So when the printer receives the command example Main pad counter - Check, the power light will blink for about 60 seconds. The printer can process the next command example Main pad counter - Initialization after 60 seconds have passed. Communication error! Error Code: 20000xxx occurs because the second command "Main pad counter -> Initialization" is done while the printer is still processing the previous command. So wait for the power light to stop flashing, then run the next command.

When an Epson printer error occurs and requires replacement of parts, after the damaged parts are replaced, use the Adjustment Program to rearrange the new parts installed, so that maximum printing results can be maintained. If you are having trouble repairing the printer yourself, we recommend contacting an Epson Authorized Customer Service Center.
