Epson WorkForce 840 Waste Ink Counter Reset

The Epson WorkForce 840 is a widely used Epson printer. Like many Epson devices, it can stop printing when the internal waste ink counter reaches its predefined limit.

The Epson WorkForce 840 tracks waste ink with an internal counter. Because it is an estimate (not a physical sensor), it may trigger before the pads are actually full.
