Epson XP-255 Reset Waste Ink Counter
Epson XP-255 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.
Before resetting Epson XP-255
The printer protects against possible ink overflow by monitoring an internal service counter. On Epson XP-255, reaching the threshold can trigger an ink pad warning and block further jobs.
Wic Reset Connect is designed to reset the compatible counter in Epson XP-255. The physical waste ink system should still be inspected and maintained when necessary.
