Run the WIC Reset Utility. Click on the button - Read Waste Counters and see their values: If even one counter is overflow - more then 100% - the printer will not work and you have to reset this counter. If all counters are low then 100% - printer can work ok. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kbklarry 0 Report post Posted December 24, 2016 I ran the reset utility on my Epson R3000 for the first time in order to collect some data. The results show three counters (12.99%, 13.00%, 3.12%). What are the three counters counting? Also, what is the meaning of "Total print pass counter" and "Total print page counter"? I'm guessing the page counter is the number of prints made. What size print is being counted? Does it count ink wasted by turning on the printer and by cleaning the print head, doing nozzle checks, etc.? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ByrdS1 0 Report post Posted September 20, 2022 What is a “Waste Ink Counter” A waste ink counter resides in the printers firmware (non-volatile memory) and consists of an ambiguous value that the printer will increment over time with each operation that generates waste ink.
