Epson L4263 Reset Waste Ink Counter
When Epson L4263 reports that an ink pad needs service, restarting the printer alone normally does not clear the lock. A compatible reset procedure is required.
What the Epson L4263 service message means
During head cleaning and normal maintenance, unused ink is directed into internal absorber pads. Epson L4263 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 L4263. The physical waste ink system should still be inspected and maintained when necessary.
