Model-specific reset guide
Vynulovanie počítadla odpadového atramentu v zariadení Epson L3216
Epson L3216 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 L3216
An ink pad message is a maintenance safeguard. It indicates that Epson L3216 has reached a stored waste ink value that must be reset before normal printing can resume.
Wic Reset Connect is designed to reset the compatible counter in Epson L3216. The physical waste ink system should still be inspected and maintained when necessary.
Reset the counter in Epson L3216
The reset normally takes only a few minutes, but the printer must be detected correctly before the key is used.
