Epson ET-1112 Reset Waste Ink Counter
Epson ET-1112 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.
The counter behind the Epson ET-1112 warning
Waste ink produced by cleaning cycles is collected inside the printer. Epson ET-1112 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-1112. The physical waste ink system should still be inspected and maintained when necessary.
