Epson XP-202 Reiniciar contador de resíduos de tinta
Epson XP-202 records cleaning cycles and waste ink usage in an internal counter. When that value reaches its programmed limit, printing can stop until the counter is reset.
Why Epson XP-202 stops printing
Waste ink produced by cleaning cycles is collected inside the printer. Epson XP-202 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 XP-202. The physical waste ink system should still be inspected and maintained when necessary.
