Restablecimiento del contador de tinta de desecho de la Epson ET-2828
Epson ET-2828 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 ET-2828
During head cleaning and normal maintenance, unused ink is directed into internal absorber pads. Epson ET-2828 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 ET-2828. The physical waste ink system should still be inspected and maintained when necessary.
