Reset Epson Printer Protection Counter

Printer Status : Indicator Lights blinking alternately.
This error is detected when the value of the Printer Protection Counter reaches its limits.

Keep in mind that what you are about to reset is the printer protection counter and not the chipset in your Continuous Ink System. Inknovation uses Autoreset chips in all our CISS.

Instruction:
1. Download and install SSC. There will be an icon on the desktop after finishing installing SSC Service Utility software.

2. Click this icon; you can start the main menu as the below picture shown.

a) Choose the printer model which you’ve installed driver in the first grid.

b) Choose the corresponding printer model supported in second grid.For some special printer models, such as CX5100, you can choose CX5200

c) Click the two choices in the small window below. The first one means don’t load Epson status agent service at startup; and the second means starting utility at Windows startup.

3. Click “REFRESH” and check whether ink volume is displayed as the following picture shown. If not or over 100%, it means the printer hasn’t been recognized. Then you can delete printer driver and re-install driver or re-start the computer so that the printer can be recognized.

4. When the printer can be recognized, close the window. Then you will see a small SSC image in the taskbar as the below picture shown.

5. Click right button of mouse on SSC image then you can start its functions.

6. “Protection counter” is the most useful function. When printer has printed lots of papers, it shall indicate, “the components have reached its life span”. At this time, two lights on panel will blink alternatively. Actually the truth is not like what the notice says. The reason for this problem is that EPSON has setup a “Printing Paper Record Utility” on the mainboard. When finish printing the fixed pages, it will suggest changing the waste ink pad. In fact, it still can be used for a long time. At this point, you can click the “Protection counter” and choose “ Reset protection counter” to clear the records as below picture shown.

7. Click “Yes” when there's a dialogue frame come out as below,

8. Then click “OK”. The waste counter is resetted.

9. In the end, turn off printer and switch it back on again. Now you have finished the “SSC Procedure”.

Note: Other useful uses of this utility.

1) Reset or rewrite any chip using special addon device.
2) Freeze internal ink counters.
3) Reset internal ink counters even with empty cartridges.
4) Separate cleaning of color and black heads for all Epson inkjet printers, powerful cleaning mode.
5) Resetting of protection counter (even then it is already full).

Modern print technology

The following printing technologies are routinely found in modern printers, as of April 2006:

[edit] Toner-based printers
Main article: Laser printer
Toner-based printers work using the Xerographic principle that is at work in most photocopiers: by adhering toner to a light-sensitive print drum, then using static electricity to transfer the toner to the printing medium to which it is fused with heat and pressure.
The most common type of toner-based printer is the laser printer, which uses precision lasers to cause adherence. Laser printers are known for high quality prints, good print speed, and a low (Black and White) cost-per-copy; they are the most common printer for many general-purpose office applications. They are far less commonly used as consumer printers due to a high initial cost.
Laser printers are available in both color and monochrome varieties.
Another toner based printer is the LED printer which uses an array of LEDs instead of a laser to cause toner adhesion to the print drum.
Recent research has also indicated that Laser printers emit potentially dangerous ultrafine particles, possibly causing health problems associated with respiration [1] and cause pollution equivalent to cigarettes.[3] The degree of particle emissions varies with age, model and design of each printer but is generally proportional to the amount of toner required. Furthermore, a well ventilated workspace would allow such ultrafine particles to disperse thus reducing the health side effects

Printing technology

Printers are routinely classified by the underlying print technology they employ; numerous such technologies have been developed over the years.
The choice of print engine has a substantial effect on what jobs a printer is suitable for, as different technologies are capable of different levels of image/text quality, print speed, low cost, noise; in addition, some technologies are inappropriate for certain types of physical media (such as carbon paper or transparencies).
Another aspect of printer technology that is often forgotten is resistance to alteration: liquid ink such as from an inkjet head or fabric ribbon becomes absorbed by the paper fibers, so documents printed with a liquid ink sublimation printer are more difficult to alter than documents printed with toner or solid inks, which do not penetrate below the paper surface.
Checks should either be printed with liquid ink or on special "check paper with toner anchorage".[2] For similar reasons carbon film ribbons for IBM Selectric typewriters bore labels warning against using them to type negotiable instruments such as checks. The machine-readable lower portion of a check, however, must be printed using MICR toner or ink. Banks and other clearing houses employ automation equipment that relies on the magnetic flux from these specially printed characters to function properly.

Computer Printer

A computer printer, or more commonly a printer, is a computer peripheral which produces a hard copy (permanent human-readable text and/or graphics) of documents stored in electronic form, usually on physical print media such as paper or transparencies. Many printers are primarily used as local peripherals, and are attached by a printer cable to a computer which serves as a document source. Some printers, commonly known as network printers, have built-in network interfaces (typically wireless or Ethernet), and can serve as a hardcopy device for any user on the network. Individual printers are often designed to support both local and network connected users at the same time.
In addition, a few modern printers can directly interface to electronic media such as memory sticks or memory cards, or to image capture devices such as digital cameras, scanners; some printers are combined with a scanners and/or fax machines in a single unit. Printers that include non-printing features are sometimes called Multifunction Printers (MFP) or Multi-Function Devices (MFD).
A printer which is combined with a scanner can function as a kind of photocopier if so designed. Most MFPs include printing, scanning, and copying among their features. Printers are designed for low-volume, short-turnaround print jobs; requiring virtually no setup time to achieve a hard copy of a given document. However, printers are generally slow devices (30 pages per minute is considered fast; and many consumer printers are far slower than that), and the cost-per-page is relatively high. In contrast, the printing press (which serves much the same function), is designed and optimized for high-volume print jobs such as newspaper print runs--printing presses are capable of hundreds of pages per minute or more, and have an incremental cost-per-page which is a fraction of that of printers.
The printing press remains the machine of choice for high-volume, professional publishing. However, as printers have improved in quality and performance, many jobs which used to be done by professional print shops are now done by users on local printers; see desktop publishing. The world's first computer printer was a 19th century mechanically driven apparatus invented by Charles Babbage for his Difference Engine.[1]
