Why this is often faster than service

If the printer is blocked only by the counter, a reset key can restore printing much faster than sending the printer to a service centre. This is useful when you need documents printed today.

Utility is only for checking

Use WIC Reset Utility only to read the waste ink counter and check communication. Use WicReset Connect for the actual reset. This avoids entering a key in the wrong place.
