Model-specific reset guide
Epson ET-M2128 Tindijäätmete loenduri lähtestamine
When Epson ET-M2128 reports that an ink pad needs service, restarting the printer alone normally does not clear the lock. A compatible reset procedure is required.
Understanding the Epson ET-M2128 waste ink warning
Every cleaning cycle sends a small amount of ink to the waste ink system. Epson ET-M2128 adds that activity to its counter and displays a maintenance warning when the programmed threshold is reached.
Wic Reset Connect is designed to reset the compatible counter in Epson ET-M2128. The physical waste ink system should still be inspected and maintained when necessary.
