Restoring the printer to factory settings. What Does the Adjustment Program NOT Fix?
Inside your Epson L8180 is an internal waste ink pad that absorbs excess ink from cleaning cycles. This pad has a limited capacity. Once the printer’s internal counter hits a preset limit, the printer will lock itself down and refuse to print to prevent a messy overflow. This is a designed feature, not a malfunction. The Adjustment Program is the tool designed to reset this internal waste ink counter.
