If you’re using an Epson EcoTank printer such as the L3250, L3251, L3255, L3256, or L3260 and your printer suddenly stops printing while both the ink and paper lights are blinking, don’t panic. This is a common issue caused by the waste ink pad counter reaching its limit. Fortunately, you can fix it yourself using the Epson Adjustment Program.
❓ Why Are the Ink and Paper Lights Flashing?
When the ink and paper lights blink alternately or simultaneously, it typically means:
The waste ink pad is full (or the printer thinks it is)
Error code related to service required (maintenance reset needed)
The printer is in protection mode to avoid ink overflow
This does not always mean the pads are physically full, but that the internal counter has reached its limit.
🧰 What Is the Epson Adjustment Program?
The Epson Adjustment Program (also called Epson Resetter Tool) is a utility used to:
Reset the waste ink pad counter
Clear the service required error
Make the printer functional again without replacing any hardware
🖨️ Supported Models
This method works with the following Epson EcoTank models:
Epson L3250
Epson L3251
Epson L3255
Epson L3256
🪛 How to Use the Adjustment Program (Step-by-Step)
✅ What You Need:
A Windows PC (adjustment programs work on Windows only)
Extract the ZIP/RAR file and run AdjProg.exe as administrator. (Password: epson)
Select your printer model and port (USB).
Click on “Particular Adjustment Mode”.
Choose Waste Ink Pad Counter.
Click Check → then Initialize.
After completion, turn off the printer and turn it back on.
Your printer should now be fully functional, with no blinking lights!
⚠️ Important Notes
Disable antivirus temporarily before running the tool, as some .exe files are flagged falsely.
Always use the correct version of the tool that matches your exact printer model.
This is a software reset, and it’s recommended to clean or replace the ink pad physically after multiple resets to prevent ink overflow.
🎯 Conclusion
If your Epson L3250, L3251, L3255, L3256, or L3260is showing blinking ink and paper lights, it’s most likely due to a full ink pad counter. Using the Epson Adjustment Program is a quick, effective solution to reset the printer and get back to printing without delays.
