Epson TX800FW Reset Waste Ink Counter
When Epson TX800FW 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 TX800FW service message means
An ink pad message is a maintenance safeguard. It indicates that Epson TX800FW has reached a stored waste ink value that must be reset before normal printing can resume.
Wic Reset Connect is designed to reset the compatible counter in Epson TX800FW. The physical waste ink system should still be inspected and maintained when necessary.
