    Thank you so much !!!! You saved my printer. The tutorials are absolutely perfect. I received the kit and the key rapidly and followed the tutorials and my printer works ! I hate my Epson printer because there is always something going wrong. I used to buy non Epson cartridges but it suddenly stopped taking them because as soon as I installed them they would show empty, so, I just bought 4 brand new Epson ink cartridges (the 3 colours + photo black, because the silly printer won’t print plain black without all the other cartridges that I don’t use but still empties them with time) and as soon as I installed them, it told me the waste was full, and I was so frustrated !!!

    Given that you likely just changed the pads too it’s likely some ink has leaked from the carts, particularly if you turned the printer on its side or back. It should subside with time but you may want to mop up any excess in the capping station (area the printhead rests on).

    The waste counter is a value in the printer memory so you need to reset using an app like WICReset. It doesn’t auto-reset with the pads changing. Wish it did though as that’d make our lives a lot easier.

    My Epson XP-445 announced on its display screen that the "Printer Ink Pad is at the end of its life. Please contact Epson support." I did that but what came up on the support screen looked very complicated, so I watched this video instead. As a result, I ordered a replacement ink pad identical to the one shown in the video. I followed the instructions, took out the old pad, and the replacement clicked exactly into place, just as it did in the video. However, when I put the printer back in its usual place, reconnected the leads to the power supply and computer and turned it on, the same identical message came up again, telling me that the "pad is at the end of its life." I've no idea what I did wrong, as the video above explained everything in detail and I followed the instructions closely. Has this happened to anyone else and if so, what is the problem and the solution?

    There is no software reset for the TM C3400. You need a hardware chip resetter to reset the chip on the cartridge as the waste pad is in the bottom of the ink cartridge itself so resetting the ink resets the waste counter too.

    No, you'd need a separate resetter for the cartridges. Worth noting that the North American versions of the XP-15000 may not have compatible resetters available due to the difference in IP (Intellectual Property) laws there and trade restrictions on some Epson related products. I do know that there's a version for the EU version of the XP-15000 cartridges (378/478 chips).

    Ah. Inkchip has a different app called “WIC” which is not the same as the “WICReset” app. You need the app from the inkchip site to reset your printer. If the WIC app isn’t recognising your app you might want to request a refund and purchase a WICReset key instead. And yes changing the pads on their own isn’t enough. You do need to reset the waste counter as well to clear the error

    Best guess at this point, the G4000 specifically has a different way to get into service mode. You could try this approach instead: - Power off - Press and hold "cancel" button - Press and hold "power" button - Release "cancel" button, then press & release "cancel" button a further 5 times _(the power/error LED lights should light up alternating with each other)_ - Now release the "power" button. The Power LED light should be blinking. Wait until this LED stops blinking and gives a solid light and you should be in service mode. _Just as a side note: I've tried to locate a G4000 here in the UK but can't find one to test and research on further._

    Had to check this properly and assuming you mean the ET-4700 (not the WF Pro-4700) then the process is effectively the same as the one shown in this video, and uses the same pads and reset key as well. To clarify on the way you tackle waste ink though. The pads are needed to deal with the physical waste ink while the reset app (and key) reset the waste ink counter which clears the waste pad error. Short version, you should do both.
