Restablecimiento sencillo de la Epson L1270: cómo solucionar el error del contador de la almohadilla de tinta (E11)
Epson L1270 Reset records cleaning cycles and waste ink usage in an internal counter. When that value reaches its programmed limit, printing can stop until the counter is reset.
Why Epson L1270 Reset stops printing
An ink pad message is a maintenance safeguard. It indicates that Epson L1270 Reset 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 L1270 Reset. The physical waste ink system should still be inspected and maintained when necessary.
