Obtaining and running the Adjustment Program is a process fraught with pitfalls. Epson does not distribute the software publicly; it leaks through third-party websites, forums, or is sold by unlicensed vendors. The typical user workflow involves downloading a ZIP file, disabling antivirus software (as the cracked executables often trigger false or real positives), and connecting the L6190 via USB.
