Epson ME-940FW Reset Waste Ink Counter
Epson ME-940FW 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.
Why Epson ME-940FW stops printing
Epson ME-940FW 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 ME-940FW. The physical waste ink system should still be inspected and maintained when necessary.
