Epson TX123 Reset Waste Ink Counter
If your Epson TX123 has stopped with an ink pad or service-life warning, the printer may have reached its waste ink counter limit. This model-specific guide explains what the message means and how to complete the reset with Wic Reset Connect.
Why the ink pad counter blocks Epson TX123
An ink pad message is a maintenance safeguard. It indicates that Epson TX123 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 TX123. The physical waste ink system should still be inspected and maintained when necessary.
