Epson XP-220 Reset Waste Ink Counter
Epson XP-220 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.
Before resetting Epson XP-220
Every cleaning cycle sends a small amount of ink to the waste ink system. Epson XP-220 adds that activity to its counter and displays a maintenance warning when the programmed threshold is reached.
Wic Reset Connect is designed to reset the compatible counter in Epson XP-220. The physical waste ink system should still be inspected and maintained when necessary.
