Epson XP-725 Reset Waste Ink Counter
Epson XP-725 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 XP-725 warning
Waste ink produced by cleaning cycles is collected inside the printer. Epson XP-725 tracks those cycles electronically and can stop printing when the calculated limit is reached.
Wic Reset Connect is designed to reset the compatible counter in Epson XP-725. The physical waste ink system should still be inspected and maintained when necessary.
