2. Physical Ink Overflow
The tool resets the counter, but it does not remove the physical waste ink. If you reset the counter without cleaning or replacing the absorbent pads, the pads will eventually overflow, leaking ink inside your printer and possibly onto your desk.
Safety and Considerations
- Using service tools can void warranties or cause unintended changes; ensure you have authorization and understand risks.
- Resetting waste ink counters without cleaning or replacing absorbers can lead to ink overflow and damage.
- Only use firmware or EEPROM modifications from trusted sources to avoid bricking the printer.
- Back up EEPROM or configuration data before making changes.
