Epson EW-M660FT Reset Waste Ink Counter
When Epson EW-M660FT reports that an ink pad needs service, restarting the printer alone normally does not clear the lock. A compatible reset procedure is required.
Why the ink pad counter blocks Epson EW-M660FT
Epson EW-M660FT 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 EW-M660FT. The physical waste ink system should still be inspected and maintained when necessary.
