Epson TX435W Reset Waste Ink Counter
When Epson TX435W reports that an ink pad needs service, restarting the printer alone normally does not clear the lock. A compatible reset procedure is required.
What the Epson TX435W service message means
Epson TX435W uses stored counter data to estimate absorber usage. The estimate may reach its limit before the pads appear completely saturated, but physical maintenance should still be considered.
Wic Reset Connect is designed to reset the compatible counter in Epson TX435W. The physical waste ink system should still be inspected and maintained when necessary.
