Epson BX305FW+ Reset Waste Ink Counter
Epson BX305FW+ records cleaning cycles and waste ink usage in an internal counter. When that value reaches its programmed limit, printing can stop until the counter is reset.
Why Epson BX305FW+ stops printing
Waste ink produced by cleaning cycles is collected inside the printer. Epson BX305FW+ tracks those cycles electronically and can stop printing when the calculated limit is reached.
Wic Reset Connect is designed to reset the compatible counter in Epson BX305FW+. The physical waste ink system should still be inspected and maintained when necessary.
