Epson XP-530 Reset Waste Ink Counter
Epson XP-530 may refuse new print jobs after estimating that the waste ink pads have reached their service limit. Wic Reset Connect can reset the software counter after the printer is prepared correctly.
Understanding the Epson XP-530 waste ink warning
Epson XP-530 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 XP-530. The physical waste ink system should still be inspected and maintained when necessary.
