Model-specific reset guide
Epson L801 tühja tindi loenduri nullimine
Epson L801 may refuse new print jobs after estimating that the waste ink pads have reached their service limit. Wic Reset Connect can reset the software counter after the printer is prepared correctly.
Understanding the Epson L801 waste ink warning
An ink pad message is a maintenance safeguard. It indicates that Epson L801 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 L801. The physical waste ink system should still be inspected and maintained when necessary.
