How to Reset the Ink for Epson C43SX Printer Software

The Epson Inkjet C43SX is a basic ink printer for the home user. It features a simple, easy-to-understand interface and automated monitors to tell you when ink is low. It the printer has been left on for too long though, these monitoring systems can misread the ink levels. The ink could be drying or may need to be shaken around a bit.
