Epson XP-432 Reset Waste Ink Counter
Epson XP-432 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.
Why the ink pad counter blocks Epson XP-432
An ink pad message is a maintenance safeguard. It indicates that Epson XP-432 has reached a stored waste ink value that must be reset before normal printing can resume.
Wic Reset Connect is designed to reset the compatible counter in Epson XP-432. The physical waste ink system should still be inspected and maintained when necessary.
