Epson NX125 Reset Waste Ink Counter
A waste ink counter warning can prevent Epson NX125 from printing even when the printer is otherwise working normally. Follow the checks and reset sequence below to restore operation safely.
Why the ink pad counter blocks Epson NX125
Waste ink produced by cleaning cycles is collected inside the printer. Epson NX125 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 NX125. The physical waste ink system should still be inspected and maintained when necessary.
