The Epson C120 is a widely used Epson printer. Like many Epson devices, it can stop printing when the internal waste ink counter reaches its predefined limit.

The Epson C120 tracks waste ink with an internal counter. Because it is an estimate (not a physical sensor), it may trigger before the pads are actually full.

Most Epson C120 waste ink counter locks are solved by a software counter reset. Wic Reset Connect provides a straightforward procedure.

Typical Signs
