Epson L1276 Waste Ink Counter Reset

The Epson L1276 delivers reliable printing, but periodic maintenance routines can increase the waste ink counter and eventually trigger a ‘Service Required’ lock.

A waste ink counter in the Epson L1276 accumulates after cleaning operations. Once it reaches a limit, printing is stopped to prevent overflow.
