Understanding the Problem: Why is the Orange Light Blinking? Before we dive into the reset process, it is crucial to understand what is happening.

For most home users, simply absorbing surface ink is enough to proceed with a reset. Step 2: Entering "Service Mode" (Is it necessary?) Unlike some Brother or Canon printers, the Epson L382 does not have a button-press sequence to reset the waste ink counter. You cannot do this via the printer’s menu or by holding the cancel button. If it looks soaked and wet, do not proceed yet
