Model-specific reset guide
Epson TX820FWD リセット廃インクカウンター
Epson TX820FWD 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.
Understanding the Epson TX820FWD waste ink warning
During head cleaning and normal maintenance, unused ink is directed into internal absorber pads. Epson TX820FWD 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 TX820FWD. The physical waste ink system should still be inspected and maintained when necessary.
