Epson TX200 Reset Waste Ink Counter
The service-required message on Epson TX200 often relates to the internal waste ink counter rather than an empty cartridge or paper fault. The steps below help you confirm and resolve that condition.
The counter behind the Epson TX200 warning
Epson TX200 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 TX200. The physical waste ink system should still be inspected and maintained when necessary.
