How To Turn EPSON SC-P600 RESETTER Into Success

 

 

✅ What is a SC-P600 resetter

• There are third-party utilities such as WIC Reset Utility (or “Adjustment Program / AdjProg”) that claim to support SC-P600 — letting you reset the waste-ink pad counter (i.e. “Ink Pad Needs Service / service required / E11” etc.) so the printer can print again. WIC Reset+2wicreset.info+2

• There’s also a “chip resetter” version (hardware or software) for resetting ink–cartridge chips — useful if you refill cartridges and want the printer to “see” them as full again. Inkjet Direct+1

• Furthermore: some resetters even offer a “chipless firmware” option for SC-P600 (so the printer doesn’t check for cartridge chips), though that involves firmware modification and has extra risks. Chipless Printers+2WIC Support+2

🔧 What the resetter can do

Using a proper resetter (software or chip tool) for SC-P600 can:

• Reset the waste-ink pad counter (so “maintenance required / ink pad full / stop printing” errors go away) wicreset.info+2Chipless Printers+2

• Reset ink-cartridge chips (so printer thinks cartridges are full, even if refilled / reused) Inkjet Direct+1

• Sometimes allow firmware modification (e.g. to disable chip checking / use refillable or third-party inks) — but that is more advanced and riskier. Chipless Printers+1

⚠️ What you should know — warnings & caveats

• The “waste-ink pad reset” is designed to be used only when you also clean or replace the waste-ink pad (or risk overflow). If you just reset the counter without dealing with the saturated pad, you may cause ink overflow or damage. Chipless Printers+1

• Many resetter utilities are not official from Epson — they are third-party. Using them might void warranty, or pose risk of firmware/driver instability.

• Some users online report issues: e.g. chip-reset tools not recognized if cartridges are already “X” or too low. Inkjet Direct+1

• There’s some community skepticism: some people call reset utilities a “racket,” because many keys are one-time use, or because after reset they still run into new error — treating resets as only a temporary workaround. Reddit+1

Example from a user on reddit:
“There is no official tool for this… WIC Reset, which charges you for it.” Reddit

💡 What you need to get / do to reset SC-P600

If you still want to proceed, here’s what you need to do:

1. Download a reset utility that supports SC-P600 — for example WIC Reset Utility or an “Adjustment Program / AdjProg” for SC-P600. Orpys+2Dat Viet Computer+2

2. Connect the printer to a Windows PC via USB (reset tools typically work Windows 7–11). wicreset.info+1

3. Run the utility: read the current waste-ink counter, then apply the “reset waste ink pad counter” (or “reset chip” if doing cartridge chip). You’ll likely need a “reset key” (often paid) for that. wicreset.info+2WIC Reset+2

4. After reset, turn the printer off and on again. Then verify via nozzle check or test print. Chipless Printers+1

5. If you’re resetting the ink pad counter: ideally clean or replace the waste-ink pad (or empty the waste-ink tray), otherwise you risk ink overflow — especially if you do heavy printing. Chipless Printers+1

🧰 My recommendation / what I would do in your place

• If the printer is showing “Ink Pad Needs Service” or similar “waste-ink pad full” error → using a reset utility is a temporary but quick way to resume printing — but I’d also physically check / clean / replace the waste-ink pad (or empty tank), to avoid long-term issues.

• If you want to use refillable or third-party cartridges: a chip reset or — cautiously — a chipless firmware could save you money. But only if you accept the risk (warranty void, possible firmware issues).

• As a safer long-term solution: consider proper maintenance (regular head cleaning, not letting ink pads overflow) rather than repeated reset cycles.
