Model-specific reset guide
Epson B30 Reset Waste Ink Counter
If your Epson B30 has stopped with an ink pad or service-life warning, the printer may have reached its waste ink counter limit. This model-specific guide explains what the message means and how to complete the reset with Wic Reset Connect.
The counter behind the Epson B30 warning
During head cleaning and normal maintenance, unused ink is directed into internal absorber pads. Epson B30 estimates that accumulation with a software counter; it does not directly measure the physical amount of ink in the pads.
Wic Reset Connect is designed to reset the compatible counter in Epson B30. The physical waste ink system should still be inspected and maintained when necessary.

Complete these steps in order. A direct USB connection and the original Epson driver are essential for reliable communication.

If Epson B30 is not detected
- Connect the printer directly to the computer. Do not use Wi-Fi, a USB hub, docking station or print server.
- Run Wic Reset Connect as Administrator and keep the internet connection active throughout validation.

Epson B30 reset FAQ
How long does the reset take?
The reset itself usually finishes in about 1–2 minutes after the printer has been detected correctly.
Does Epson B30 need service mode?
