Epson officially intends the printer to be serviced by authorized centers. Resetting without pad replacement violates the intended safety design. If you reset, either install a new waste ink pad (available online) or install an external waste ink tank to collect overflow safely.
However, the use of such software introduces a significant dichotomy between digital correction and physical reality. While the Adjustment Program can easily reset the digital counter to zero, it cannot physically clean or replace the saturated waste ink pad. This creates a potential hazard: if a user repeatedly resets the counter without ever replacing or cleaning the physical pad, the sponge will eventually overflow. This can lead to ink leaking out of the bottom of the printer, damaging circuit boards, and creating a substantial mess. Therefore, the ethical and practical use of the Adjustment Program requires a dual approach: the digital reset must be accompanied by physical maintenance. Reset Epson L382 Adjustment Program
