Epson XP-101 Resetare contor deșeuri de cerneală
Epson XP-101 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 the ink pad counter blocks Epson XP-101
Waste ink produced by cleaning cycles is collected inside the printer. Epson XP-101 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-101. The physical waste ink system should still be inspected and maintained when necessary.
