Epson L120 Reset Waste Ink Counter
Epson L120 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.
Understanding the Epson L120 waste ink warning
Waste ink produced by cleaning cycles is collected inside the printer. Epson L120 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 L120. The physical waste ink system should still be inspected and maintained when necessary.
