Epson NX127 Reset Waste Ink Counter
When Epson NX127 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 NX127
During head cleaning and normal maintenance, unused ink is directed into internal absorber pads. Epson NX127 estimates that accumulation with a software counter; it does not directly measure the physical amount of ink in the pads.
Wic Reset Connect is designed to reset the compatible counter in Epson NX127. The physical waste ink system should still be inspected and maintained when necessary.
