+
* ***The OEM part reference is: 1749772 Porous Pad Assembly***
+
* ***Third party replacement parts with and without the plastic holder are available.***

Right, that out of the way, Nick is correct. The newer ET2000 series are still being produced without the chipped maintenance boxes that other more expensive printers ''(eg: ET3000 and ET4000 series)'' now seem to have as standard so you do need a waste counter reset to be able to clear the waste counter and the "pads at end of service life" error that it creates. I checked and WICReset is currently compatible with the ET-2400 so that's covered.

''EDIT:'' As far as waste pads go, thanks to a post from Elizabeth White (below) I can confirm that the ET-2400 seems to use the same porous pad assembly ''(Epsons technical term for "waste pad holder")'' as the ET-2700 to ET-2720 and looks like this:[br]

Just as an aside, it is also possible to fit external waste ink kits to these printers. As some of the comments indicate that these are being used a lot for dye-sublimation printing ''(which is incredibly wasteful when it comes to ink)'' then an external waste ink kit is definitely worth considering for that sort of usage scenario.

You can also purchase WICReset keys cheaper if you go to 2manuals.com and buy multiple keys in one go as they offer discounts for bulk purchases. You may also find somewhere selling the official Epson adjProg utility/app although I haven't used one for close to 8 years now and can't vouch for how safe and/or reliable they ''(or the sellers)'' are now.

Hope that offers some hope for those of you who had pretty much given up all hope with this and I'm happy to answer questions on the waste ink side of things if anyone wants to comment here or via my main company details (I'm sure you can find them if you search).

As far as waste pads go, the ET-2400 seems to use the same porous pad assembly ''(Epsons technical term for "waste pad holder")'' as the ET-2700 to ET-2720. Unfortunately I've never laid eyes on an ET-2400 because I'm still working through my massive backlog of other Epson printers to document them but if someone can take the rear right (when viewing the printer from the front) side panel and confirm whether the pad holder inside looks like this:[br]
...then comment below, I will then be able to confirm which is the correct part. I'm pretty sure it's going to be part ref: 1749772 though.
