Epson TX100 Reset Waste Ink Counter
The service-required message on Epson TX100 often relates to the internal waste ink counter rather than an empty cartridge or paper fault. The steps below help you confirm and resolve that condition.
The counter behind the Epson TX100 warning
Epson TX100 uses stored counter data to estimate absorber usage. The estimate may reach its limit before the pads appear completely saturated, but physical maintenance should still be considered.
Wic Reset Connect is designed to reset the compatible counter in Epson TX100. The physical waste ink system should still be inspected and maintained when necessary.
