Epson L313 Reset Waste Ink Counter
Epson L313 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 L313
During head cleaning and normal maintenance, unused ink is directed into internal absorber pads. Epson L313 estimates that accumulation with a software counter; it does not directly measure the physical amount of ink in the pads.
Wic Reset Connect is designed to reset the compatible counter in Epson L313. The physical waste ink system should still be inspected and maintained when necessary.
Reset the counter in Epson L313
Prepare the computer and connection first. Most unsuccessful attempts are caused by a missing original driver, an indirect USB connection or another Epson utility using the printer.

If Epson L313 is not detected
