Resetting the software does not physically clean the ink pads. If you reset the counter multiple times without replacing or cleaning the physical pads, ink may eventually overflow and damage your printer.
Inside every Epson printer is a spongy pad. When your printer cleans itself (which happens often in L3150 models), it pushes ink through the printhead and dumps it onto this pad. Eventually, the pad fills up. To prevent liquid ink from leaking out of the bottom of your printer, Epson programs the printer to lock down completely.
