Epson EP-903A Reset Waste Ink Counter
Epson EP-903A records cleaning cycles and waste ink usage in an internal counter. When that value reaches its programmed limit, printing can stop until the counter is reset.
Understanding the Epson EP-903A waste ink warning
An ink pad message is a maintenance safeguard. It indicates that Epson EP-903A has reached a stored waste ink value that must be reset before normal printing can resume.
Wic Reset Connect is designed to reset the compatible counter in Epson EP-903A. The physical waste ink system should still be inspected and maintained when necessary.
