Epson WorkForce 315 Reset Waste Ink Counter
When Epson WorkForce 315 reports that an ink pad needs service, restarting the printer alone normally does not clear the lock. A compatible reset procedure is required.
The counter behind the Epson WorkForce 315 warning
Waste ink produced by cleaning cycles is collected inside the printer. Epson WorkForce 315 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 WorkForce 315. The physical waste ink system should still be inspected and maintained when necessary.
