Epson ET-3600 Reset Waste Ink Counter
Epson ET-3600 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.
Before resetting Epson ET-3600
An ink pad message is a maintenance safeguard. It indicates that Epson ET-3600 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 ET-3600. The physical waste ink system should still be inspected and maintained when necessary.
