The Epson RX685 Resetter is an adjustment software program used for maintenance on the Epson RX685 printer. The most frequently performed maintenance using this resetter is digitally cleaning the waste ink pad counter.
As we know, almost all Epson printers have a mechanism to prevent waste ink from leaking out of the printer by counting a certain amount of waste ink through the Waste Ink Pad counter. If the waste ink pad counter is full, then the printer cannot be used and requests the waste ink pad to be replaced or cleaned, while the counter also needs to be reset.
Below, we will provide you with a guide on how to use the Epson RX685 Printer and also where you can download it.

Why is a Resetter Needed?
Inside your Epson RX685 printer, there is a designated absorbent pad, often called a “maintenance box” or “ink absorber.” This pad soaks up a small amount of excess ink during essential operations like:
- Print Head Cleaning: The printer uses ink to flush the print heads to prevent clogs.
- Initial Setup: When you first set up the printer or change ink tanks, ink is pumped to prime the system.
Over time, this pad reaches its saturation limit. The printer’s internal counter meticulously tracks this usage. Once the predetermined limit is reached, the printer will automatically stop working and display an error message such as “Service Required,” “Parts Life End,” or “A printer’s ink pad is at the end of its service life.”
This is a safety feature by Epson to prevent ink from overflowing and damaging your printer’s internals or your workspace. The official Epson recommendation is to take the printer to an authorized service center for maintenance, which can be costly and time-consuming. The resetter software allows users to reset this counter themselves, effectively telling the printer that the waste ink pad has been “replaced,” so printing can resume.
