Epson ET-2704 Reset Waste Ink Counter
Epson ET-2704 may refuse new print jobs after estimating that the waste ink pads have reached their service limit. Wic Reset Connect can reset the software counter after the printer is prepared correctly.
What the Epson ET-2704 service message means
Waste ink produced by cleaning cycles is collected inside the printer. Epson ET-2704 tracks those cycles electronically and can stop printing when the calculated limit is reached.
Wic Reset Connect is designed to reset the compatible counter in Epson ET-2704. The physical waste ink system should still be inspected and maintained when necessary.

Epson ET-2704 reset FAQ
Does Epson ET-2704 need service mode?
No. Epson printers do not use the Canon service-mode sequence. Connect the printer normally by USB.
What if the first reset attempt fails?
Correct the driver or USB communication problem first. If the key was consumed, use the new-key generator or contact support.
Does the reset clean or replace the ink pads?
No. It changes the stored counter value. Inspect, clean or replace the physical waste ink system when its condition requires it.
