Official WicReset Connect Software

What Is WicReset Connect and How Does It Reset Epson & Canon Printer Errors?

WicReset Connect is our own printer reset software created to help users fix waste ink counter and ink absorber errors in Epson and Canon printers. If your printer shows messages such as Service Required, Erreur E11, 5B00, 5B01, 5B02 ou 1700, the printer may be blocked by the internal waste ink counter — and this is exactly what WicReset Connect is designed to reset.

Quick answer: what does WicReset Connect do?

WicReset Connect resets the internal waste ink counter in supported Epson and Canon printers. This counter increases when the printer performs cleaning cycles, ink charging, maintenance operations or normal printing. When the counter reaches its limit, the printer may stop working even if it is mechanically fine.

After a successful reset with WicReset Connect, the waste ink counter is reset to 0%, and the printer can usually work again without showing the waste ink / ink absorber warning.

Why printers need a waste ink counter reset

Epson and Canon printers collect waste ink during cleaning and maintenance. The printer estimates how much waste ink has been produced and stores this value in an internal counter. When the limit is reached, the printer may block printing to prevent possible ink overflow.

This is why users often see messages like “Service Required”, “Le tampon encreur a besoin d'être entretenu”, “A printer’s ink pad is at the end of its service life”, Epson E11, or Canon errors such as 5B00 et 1700.

In many cases, the printer is not completely broken. It is simply locked by the internal maintenance counter. WicReset Connect was created to reset that counter safely and quickly, without sending the printer to a service center.

Printer errors WicReset Connect can help fix

The exact message depends on the printer model, but the problem is usually connected with the waste ink counter or ink absorber counter.

How the reset works

The reset process is simple, but there is one important rule: the printer must be connected by Câble USB. Do not use Wi-Fi for the reset. A direct USB connection gives the program proper access to the printer.
