Epson PX720WD Reset Waste Ink Counter
Epson PX720WD 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.
Before resetting Epson PX720WD
The printer protects against possible ink overflow by monitoring an internal service counter. On Epson PX720WD, 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 PX720WD. The physical waste ink system should still be inspected and maintained when necessary.
