Epson ET-2404 Waste Ink Counter Reset

If your Epson ET-2404 suddenly refuses to print and shows a maintenance warning, it is often caused by the waste ink (ink pad) counter threshold.

A waste ink counter in the Epson ET-2404 accumulates after cleaning operations. Once it reaches a limit, printing is stopped to prevent overflow.

Most Epson ET-2404 waste ink counter locks are solved by a software counter reset. Wic Reset Connect provides a straightforward procedure.
