Epson XP-730: Zählerstand für Alt-Tinte zurücksetzen
Epson XP-730 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 XP-730 warning
An ink pad message is a maintenance safeguard. It indicates that Epson XP-730 has reached a stored waste ink value that must be reset before normal printing can resume.
Wic Reset Connect is designed to reset the compatible counter in Epson XP-730. The physical waste ink system should still be inspected and maintained when necessary.
