Epson P50 Reset Waste Ink Counter
Epson P50 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.
What the Epson P50 service message means
Epson P50 uses stored counter data to estimate absorber usage. The estimate may reach its limit before the pads appear completely saturated, but physical maintenance should still be considered.
Wic Reset Connect is designed to reset the compatible counter in Epson P50. The physical waste ink system should still be inspected and maintained when necessary.
Reset the counter in Epson P50
Prepare the computer and connection first. Most unsuccessful attempts are caused by a missing original driver, an indirect USB connection or another Epson utility using the printer.

If Epson P50 is not detected
- Try another USB port and a known data-capable USB cable if the printer is not detected.
