Epson ME-10 Reset Waste Ink Counter
When Epson ME-10 reports that an ink pad needs service, restarting the printer alone normally does not clear the lock. A compatible reset procedure is required.
Before resetting Epson ME-10
The printer protects against possible ink overflow by monitoring an internal service counter. On Epson ME-10, 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 ME-10. The physical waste ink system should still be inspected and maintained when necessary.
