3. Risks and Security Concerns
Obtaining and using these "exclusive" or cracked resetters carries substantial risks:
A. Security Threats (Malware/Viruses) Because these files are typically hosted on file-sharing sites, torrent networks, or forums, they are prime vectors for malware.
- Trojan Droppers: Many cracked resetters trigger antivirus alerts (e.g., Trojan.Generic). While sometimes these are false positives due to the packing software used to crack the program, they often hide real threats such as cryptocurrency miners or data stealers.
- Bloatware: Installers frequently bundle unwanted software or browser hijackers.
B. Hardware Damage
- Bricking: Using the wrong version (e.g., using an L4150 resetter on an L4170) can corrupt the firmware EEPROM (Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory), rendering the printer unusable ("bricked").
- Ink Overflow: Resetting the counter does not physically empty the waste ink pads. If the pads are full and the counter is reset without replacing or cleaning the pads, ink will eventually overflow onto the user's desk and damage internal components.
C. Legal and Compliance Issues
- Distributing or using cracked software violates copyright laws and Epson’s End User License Agreement (EULA).
Step 4: Select Your Model
- In the "Model Name" dropdown menu, select L4160 (Note: This series usually shares the same firmware logic, so L4160 often works for L4150 and L4170, but check if your specific model is listed).
- Ensure the "Port" section detects your printer automatically (e.g., USB001).
- Click OK.
Step-by-Step Guide: How to Use the Resetter
⚠️ Disclaimer: Use this software at your own risk. Modifying printer firmware settings can void warranties or cause malfunctions if used incorrectly. Additionally, resetting the counter without physically cleaning or replacing the waste ink pads carries a small risk of ink leakage in the distant future.
