Model-specific reset guide
Epson TX560WD Reset Waste Ink Counter
If your Epson TX560WD has stopped with an ink pad or service-life warning, the printer may have reached its waste ink counter limit. This model-specific guide explains what the message means and how to complete the reset with Wic Reset Connect.
The counter behind the Epson TX560WD warning
During head cleaning and normal maintenance, unused ink is directed into internal absorber pads. Epson TX560WD estimates that accumulation with a software counter; it does not directly measure the physical amount of ink in the pads.
Wic Reset Connect is designed to reset the compatible counter in Epson TX560WD. The physical waste ink system should still be inspected and maintained when necessary.
