Ideally, a color inkjet printer should print at least one black page and one color page once a week to minimize the risk of clogged nozzles. By using the Epson L3256, you can have more ink for printing and cleaning cycles so that you’d be able to fill the ink reservoir less frequently.

The high-capacity ink tank system is the reason the Epson L3256 can store more ink. This innovative system has already been used in many Epson printers since it was introduced back in 2015 as an alternative to the cartridge-based system.

Features and Highlights

A Compact Printer

The Epson L3256 is an A4 printer that measures a compact 375 x 347 x 179 mm and weighs 3.9 kg. Regardless of where you intend to place the printer, you need to make sure that it has enough room on top of it to accommodate the rear tray when it is pulled out to start printing and the flatbed cover when it is lifted to start scanning or copying.

A Four-Color Printer

The number of ink tanks that can be found on the front of the printer clearly shows that the L3256 uses four colors. Unlike cartridges, there is no such thing about a tri-color tank where it becomes useless as soon as one color runs out.

Each tank is designed for a different color. There is a text label above the transparent window of each tank. If you open the reservoir, there is also a color label, as well as a simplified text label, for each tank to prevent you from refilling a tank with a wrong color.

About Epson L3256 Resetter

Every now and then the print cycles of the L3256 produces waste ink which is sent to a compartment where an ink pad resides. This ink pad is added into the printer to fulfill one purpose only. It is to isolate the waste so that it won’t spill on your desk or bring harm to the other parts of the printer.

Just like every other component in the printer, it has its own lifetime. Unfortunately, Epson doesn’t provide enough information about the ink pad. The printer’s user guide only mention that it is not a user-serviceable part and therefore users are advised to contact Epson when it causes a problem. Also worth mentioning is that the ink pad replacement isn’t free even though the printer is still in warranty.

The ink pad in the multifunction printer has a counter that needs to be reset if you want to stop the alert message from popping up and, more importantly, to bring back the primary function of the printer which is put on hold due to the ink pad being full. This is what Epson L3256 Resetter is capable of.

You still need to check the ink pad condition, though, and clean or replace it if it is completely black already. You can click the link below to download Epson L3256 Resetter for Windows:
