Epson XP-413 Reset Waste Ink Counter
When Epson XP-413 reports that an ink pad needs service, restarting the printer alone normally does not clear the lock. A compatible reset procedure is required.
The counter behind the Epson XP-413 warning
Every cleaning cycle sends a small amount of ink to the waste ink system. Epson XP-413 adds that activity to its counter and displays a maintenance warning when the programmed threshold is reached.
Wic Reset Connect is designed to reset the compatible counter in Epson XP-413. The physical waste ink system should still be inspected and maintained when necessary.
