Epson L358 Tindijäätmete loenduri lähtestamine
Epson L358 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.
The counter behind the Epson L358 warning
Every cleaning cycle sends a small amount of ink to the waste ink system. Epson L358 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 L358. The physical waste ink system should still be inspected and maintained when necessary.
