Epson WF-2660: Reiniciar o contador de tinta residual
When Epson WF-2660 reports that an ink pad needs service, restarting the printer alone normally does not clear the lock. A compatible reset procedure is required.
Why the ink pad counter blocks Epson WF-2660
During head cleaning and normal maintenance, unused ink is directed into internal absorber pads. Epson WF-2660 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 WF-2660. The physical waste ink system should still be inspected and maintained when necessary.

If Epson WF-2660 is not detected
- Clear paused print jobs and restart both the printer and Windows if another program is holding the USB connection.
- Try another USB port and a known data-capable USB cable if the printer is not detected.
