Epson PX700W Reset Waste Ink Counter
The service-required message on Epson PX700W often relates to the internal waste ink counter rather than an empty cartridge or paper fault. The steps below help you confirm and resolve that condition.
Why the ink pad counter blocks Epson PX700W
An ink pad message is a maintenance safeguard. It indicates that Epson PX700W 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 PX700W. The physical waste ink system should still be inspected and maintained when necessary.
