Model-specific reset guide
Epson R2400 Reset Waste Ink Counter
If your Epson R2400 has stopped with an ink pad or service-life warning, the printer may have reached its waste ink counter limit. This model-specific guide explains what the message means and how to complete the reset with Wic Reset Connect.
Before resetting Epson R2400
Waste ink produced by cleaning cycles is collected inside the printer. Epson R2400 tracks those cycles electronically and can stop printing when the calculated limit is reached.
Wic Reset Connect is designed to reset the compatible counter in Epson R2400. The physical waste ink system should still be inspected and maintained when necessary.
