Epson TX121 Waste Ink Counter Reset

When the Epson TX121 reaches its maintenance threshold, Epson firmware may block printing as a safeguard. In most cases, this is resolved with a counter reset.

A waste ink counter in the Epson TX121 accumulates after cleaning operations. Once it reaches a limit, printing is stopped to prevent overflow.
