Epson PX-M650F: Reinicialização do contador de tinta residual
The service-required message on Epson PX-M650F often relates to the internal waste ink counter rather than an empty cartridge or paper fault. The steps below help you confirm and resolve that condition.
What the Epson PX-M650F service message means
During head cleaning and normal maintenance, unused ink is directed into internal absorber pads. Epson PX-M650F estimates that accumulation with a software counter; it does not directly measure the physical amount of ink in the pads.
Wic Reset Connect is designed to reset the compatible counter in Epson PX-M650F. The physical waste ink system should still be inspected and maintained when necessary.
