Description:
SuperPrint development team (Resetters) created the program PrintHelp for servicing Epson inkjet printers.
This program replaced SPUA, which performed only one function - resetting the diaper usage counter.
Requirements:
Internet - the diaper can be reset only on a computer connected to the Internet.
The program can perform the following functions for Epson printers (not for all models):
- checking the current value of the waste ink counter
- reset the waste ink counter (some models require a RESET CODE)
- cleaning the print head
- enhanced cleaning of the print head during the initial refueling
- reading and writing the serial number of the printer
- reading and writing USB ID
- reading and writing HEAD ID
- reading and writing EEPROM
- paper feed test
- check and test of nozzles
- printout of a template for checking various print modes
- initialize or disable PF deterioration offset
- getting a status about the status of the printer
- downgrading the firmware (for cases when the printer has updated the firmware and non-original chips are not seen)
- changing the printer firmware to "chipless" - the printer does not need more chips, the ink level is always 100% (only for models XP-600, XP-601, XP-605, WF-2650, WF-2750, WF-3540, WF- 3620, WF-3621, WF-3640, WF-3641, WF-4630, WF-5110, WF-5190, WF-5191, WF-5620, WF-6090, WF-7110, WF-7111, WF7610, WF- 7620, WF-7621, WF-8090, SC-P400, SC-P600, etc.) - required Chipless Firmware Code- Buy Chipless Firmware Code
- reading ink level
- reset Ink Level and reset Pampers in printers L100, L200, L800 free(software reset of ink level is only possible for these three models)
USB operation:
- Before working with the printer via the USB cable, you must turn off all applications that can potentially communicate with the printer.
- Be sure to turn off Epson Status Monitor (a utility that displays the amount of ink remaining when printing) and MyEpson Portal.
- With a high degree of probability, in the event of one communication error with the device, it will be repeated until the restart.
- If an error occurs, turn off and on the printer before using it again.
Work via Wi-Fi or Ethernet:
- Printers that support network connectivity will be found automatically if they are on the same subnet as the user's computer.
- Otherwise, you need to add the IP address manually in the program settings.
- When performing service operations, data exchange with the printer is carried out using the UDP protocol. The procedure is very sensitive to network problems, especially packet loss.
- Currently, the following ports are used to exchange data with the printer: 3289 (ENPC), 161 (SNMP), 515 (LPD).
List of supported Epson printers:
This list corresponds to the status of the program as of 30/06/2016. The latest list can be viewed in the program on the Supported Models tab.

This article describes programs that can greatly expand the printing capabilities of text editors. Each of them was created for a specific purpose or for specific devices, so it would be useful to combine their work. This will overcome the disadvantage of one program with the advantage of another, which will significantly improve print quality and save on consumables.
Usually, it is customary to print documents on a printer in A4 format from applications where they were created or viewed, and only on one side of the sheet, followed by stapling the resulting pack of printouts with a stapler. As a result, huge stocks of paper simply melt before our eyes, and toner or ink now and then run out, and it is far from always convenient to work with such documents. It is often much wiser to try to print them in the form of brochures or booklets at a reduced (of course, within reasonable limits) scale and with some preliminary reformatting - say, remove unnecessary graphics from web pages, and pages of no interest from documents, insert page numbers, etc. .NS. It is clear that this can be done in a variety of ways - in particular, directly in Word, but you will have to tinker, especially if the original documents were created in some other applications. There is a way to achieve the same result much faster and with less effort - to use a special printer utility in the person of FinePrint or ClickBook, which work as virtual printer drivers, intercepting the pages sent to print and reducing them and automatically rebuilding in accordance with the settings made. As a result, the data sent to print (for example, a web page from an Internet browser or a PDF document from Adobe Reader) does not get to the printer in its original form, but after additional formatting (original paragraph formatting, page numbering, etc.) at the same time do not change and correspond to those that were installed in the application). As a result, documents can be printed not in the usual way, but, for example, in the form of double-sided booklets, brochures, etc. Such an approach to printing not only expands its capabilities, but also saves a lot of time, as well as reduces the consumption of paper, toner and ink. In addition, the user will not need to deal with various print management programs from printer suppliers, since the FinePrint and ClickBook drivers are universal and provide the setting of the necessary parameters for printing documents on a wide variety of printers. And they are very easy to use - for printing, it is enough to use the familiar "File"> "Print" command right in the working application (for example, in a text editor) and then define the printing parameters of the document.

ClickBook 12.0
Developer: Blue squirrelDistribution size: 8.73 MB
Spreading: Shareware ClickBook is a virtual printer driver for reformatting print output to match a selected template. The utility allows you to perform duplex printing, printing multiple pages on one sheet of paper, and printing booklets and brochures. In addition, it can be used to print greeting cards, business cards, catalogs, CD covers, as well as banners and posters of any size (the latter is only for Windows 2000 / XP / 2003 / Vista). The demo version of the program (there is no Russian-language localization, but you can find a localization on the Internet) is fully functional and operational for 15 days. The commercial version costs $ 49.95. ClickBook installs an additional virtual printer on the system. This printer intercepts documents sent to print and reformats them according to the selected template. After sending the selected document for printing, a utility window opens, in which you are prompted to select the desired document category: book, business card, poster, etc.
After that, the initial view of the document is formed, in which the desired layout option is then indicated (the Layouts list), which determines the way the pages are arranged on paper. The total number of layouts exceeds 170, which provides many printing options - for example, you can print a variety of documentation in the form of various kinds of brochures, cheat sheets with your favorite recipes or phone numbers and addresses in the form of mini-books, etc. All templates can be edited and the modified version of the desired template can be easily saved for future use.
In addition to choosing a layout, you can adjust many more parameters (command Layouts> "Modify Layouts"). For example, in the "Booklet Style" area, the orientation of the pages ("Sheet Orientation") is changed, and in the Binding area, their format ("Printer Paper Size"), the option of folding the pages ("Binding Edge") and whether or not two sides ("Print Sides"). In the "Sub Booklets" area, it is easy to enable the Sub-Booklets checkbox, which is useful if the booklet is to consist of several sub-booklets. In the Margins area, you can change the size of the margins ("Paper Margins"), etc.
In addition, using the commands of the Tools menu, it is easy to remove unnecessary pages from the printed document (which is especially important when printing web pages) and / or insert blank pages into it. And also add date and time to pages, custom headers, footers and watermarks, borders, etc., you can even activate printing on letterhead (Tools> Options command). The preset print settings can be easily corrected by viewing the document in preview mode.
Sequential printing of diverse documents is possible - in separate booklets or with their merging into a common printed project with an automatically generated table of contents containing the names of all involved files, indicating for each of them the page number from which this file begins in the booklet. The latter is implemented by enabling the "Print a Table of Contents Page" checkbox (the Tools> Options command) and is very convenient in a variety of cases - for example, if you wanted to combine data from different sources into a common document, say word text and several found on the Internet pages with information on the issue of interest.
Print projects created in ClickBook are usually printed immediately (Print button). However, they can also be saved in the proprietary format of the program or converted into a PDF document.
