Epson SX235W: Zählerstand für Alt-Tinte zurücksetzen
Epson SX235W 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.
The counter behind the Epson SX235W warning
Epson SX235W 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 SX235W. The physical waste ink system should still be inspected and maintained when necessary.
