Epson XP-645 Waste Ink Counter Reset

The Epson XP-645 is a widely used Epson printer. Like many Epson devices, it can stop printing when the internal waste ink counter reaches its predefined limit.

The Epson XP-645 tracks waste ink with an internal counter. Because it is an estimate (not a physical sensor), it may trigger before the pads are actually full.

Most Epson XP-645 waste ink counter locks are solved by a software counter reset. Wic Reset Connect provides a straightforward procedure.
