⚠️ Before You Reset: The "Ink Charge" Warning

The Epson ET-2400 uses a tank system rather than cartridges. Performing a full factory reset can sometimes trigger an "Initial Ink Charge."

  • What this means: The printer may dump a significant amount of ink from your tanks into the internal tubes and waste ink pad to prime the print head.
  • Advice: Do not reset the printer unless you have genuine ink in the tanks and you are troubleshooting a critical error. If you are simply trying to connect to Wi-Fi, try the Soft Reset method below first.
