Epson L3256 Tindijäätmete loenduri lähtestamine
When Epson L3256 reports that an ink pad needs service, restarting the printer alone normally does not clear the lock. A compatible reset procedure is required.
Before resetting Epson L3256
Epson L3256 uses stored counter data to estimate absorber usage. The estimate may reach its limit before the pads appear completely saturated, but physical maintenance should still be considered.
Wic Reset Connect is designed to reset the compatible counter in Epson L3256. The physical waste ink system should still be inspected and maintained when necessary.
