Epson T13: de teller voor afvalinkt resetten
The service-required message on Epson T13 often relates to the internal waste ink counter rather than an empty cartridge or paper fault. The steps below help you confirm and resolve that condition.
Before resetting Epson T13
The printer protects against possible ink overflow by monitoring an internal service counter. On Epson T13, reaching the threshold can trigger an ink pad warning and block further jobs.
Wic Reset Connect is designed to reset the compatible counter in Epson T13. The physical waste ink system should still be inspected and maintained when necessary.
