Step 1: Enter Maintenance Mode (Forced Mode)

Unlike older Epson models, the L3250 does not let you run the resetter in normal mode. You must force it into "Service Mode." Q2: Will this work after a firmware update

  1. Turn off the printer using the power button.
  2. Disconnect the USB cable (if connected).
  3. Hold down three buttons simultaneously:
    Stop + Power + Black Copy (or Color Copy – check your specific unit; usually Stop + Power + Right Arrow).
    For most L3250 models: Press and hold Stop and Power, then press the Network/Info button 3 times.
  4. Release all buttons when the power light stays solid green and the screen (if any) shows "Maintenance Mode."
  5. Reconnect the USB cable now.

⚠️ Important Notes Before You Start

  • This is a service reset – it resets the waste ink counter, not ink levels.
  • Resetting without physically cleaning or replacing the waste ink pads may cause ink overflow, damaging your printer.
  • Using third-party resetter tools voids your warranty.
  • This guide is for technical users – proceed at your own risk.

Q4: I lost the exclusive resetter file. Can I reuse it?

If you bought a license key, most resellers allow 3-5 downloads from your account. If you downloaded a .exe file, save a backup to Google Drive.

Step 8: Test and Print a Nozzle Check

  1. Load paper into the tray.
  2. Hold the Stop button for 3 seconds to print a nozzle check pattern.
  3. If the pattern is clean, your reset is complete. If not, run a head cleaning cycle from your PC.

6. Finalize

  • Turn the printer off and on manually.
  • Run a nozzle check and print a test page to confirm normal operation.

Q1: How often can I reset the Epson L3250?

Theoretically, unlimited times. However, after 3-4 resets, the physical waste pad will become fully saturated. You must replace the pad or install an external waste tank.
