Epson L3260 Reset Waste Ink Counter
Epson L3260 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 L3260 stops printing
The printer protects against possible ink overflow by monitoring an internal service counter. On Epson L3260, reaching the threshold can trigger an ink pad warning and block further jobs.
Wic Reset Connect is designed to reset the compatible counter in Epson L3260. The physical waste ink system should still be inspected and maintained when necessary.
