The Epson L396 tracks ink usage via software. After physically refilling a tank, you must tell the printer you have refilled it.

Some advanced users access a hidden service mode to reset the printer without any software. This method does not work on all firmware versions but is worth trying.
The Epson L396 printer may require a reset for issues like a full waste ink pad counter, persistent error lights, or after replacing parts. Below are safe, commonly used methods: software reset via Epson’s official tools (when available), using the WICReset/SSC Service Utility, and manual power-cycle/reset procedures. Follow steps in order and stop if unsure.
Important: Resetting waste ink counters without servicing the pads can cause ink overflow. If the printer has leaked or heavy ink smell, have it serviced.
