Epson WorkForce 325 Reset Waste Ink Counter
Epson WorkForce 325 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 WorkForce 325 stops printing
An ink pad message is a maintenance safeguard. It indicates that Epson WorkForce 325 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 WorkForce 325. The physical waste ink system should still be inspected and maintained when necessary.
