Epson L1110 Reset Waste Ink Counter
When Epson L1110 reports that an ink pad needs service, restarting the printer alone normally does not clear the lock. A compatible reset procedure is required.
Before resetting Epson L1110
Every cleaning cycle sends a small amount of ink to the waste ink system. Epson L1110 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 L1110. The physical waste ink system should still be inspected and maintained when necessary.
