The Epson 1410 printer contains a non-volatile memory chip (EEPROM) that stores usage data, ink pad counters, and mechanical error logs. After extensive use, the printer displays a error (often blinking lights or error code 0x69) indicating that the waste ink pad counter has reached its limit. To bypass this without replacing the physical pads, you must use the Epson Adjustment Program to reset the EPROM counter.
Even if the software successfully resets the counter, the program does not physically clean the ink pads. reset eprom epson 1410 adjustment program new
