Epson Picturemate PM245 Resetter

Epson PictureMate PM245 Resetter is a software adjustment program used to fix “Service required” errors that appear on the screen when the printer is being used to print documents/photos. This error occurs because the Epson PM245 printer advises you to perform the service after a long time of use. Whereas if the condition of the printer is still good, we don’t need to take it to the service place and we can fix it ourselves.

As we know the Epson PictureMate PM245 printer is basically a printer specifically used to print images/photos. Unlike printers in general, the shape of the Epson PM245 printer is quite unique because it adjusts the standard for photo sizes and not paper for documents. Even so, the Epson PictureMate PM245 printer can also experience the same error as the Epson printer used to print documents in written form.

What is a “Service required” Error?

The “Service required” error so far on Epson printers has become a characteristic of Epson printer products. This error occurs when the “Waste ink pad counter” on the Epson printer has reached the specified limit. This was probably made by Epson to ensure that the printer owner ensures that the printer is in good condition. But sometimes when we need a printer in a sudden state and we still believe that the hardware condition on the printer is still good, we can overcome this “Service required” error by resetting it using a program such as Resetter (Adjustment Program).
