Epson SX535WD Reset Waste Ink Counter
When Epson SX535WD reports that an ink pad needs service, restarting the printer alone normally does not clear the lock. A compatible reset procedure is required.
What the Epson SX535WD service message means
Every cleaning cycle sends a small amount of ink to the waste ink system. Epson SX535WD adds that activity to its counter and displays a maintenance warning when the programmed threshold is reached.
Wic Reset Connect is designed to reset the compatible counter in Epson SX535WD. The physical waste ink system should still be inspected and maintained when necessary.
Reset the counter in Epson SX535WD
