Epson L3215 Reset Waste Ink Counter
Epson L3215 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.
What the Epson L3215 service message means
Waste ink produced by cleaning cycles is collected inside the printer. Epson L3215 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 L3215. The physical waste ink system should still be inspected and maintained when necessary.
