Epson DX4050 Resetowanie licznika zużytego atramentu
Epson DX4050 may refuse new print jobs after estimating that the waste ink pads have reached their service limit. Wic Reset Connect can reset the software counter after the printer is prepared correctly.
What the Epson DX4050 service message means
Every cleaning cycle sends a small amount of ink to the waste ink system. Epson DX4050 adds that activity to its counter and displays a maintenance warning when the programmed threshold is reached.
Wic Reset Connect is designed to reset the compatible counter in Epson DX4050. The physical waste ink system should still be inspected and maintained when necessary.
