Epson L1455: replace the maintenance box, not the counter
The L1455 collects waste ink in a replaceable maintenance box with a chip (T6711). When the box is full, the fix is a new box. No reset software, ours included, applies to this model.
How the L1455 tells you
When its maintenance box is full, the L1455 stops printing and asks you to replace the maintenance box. The count is kept on the box's chip, which is why a new box clears the message.
What to do
- Check the code printed on the box in your printer. It should read T6711.
- Buy a replacement T6711 box. Genuine Epson boxes and compatible boxes with a new chip are both sold.
- Swap the box following your printer's manual. The printer reads the new chip and the message clears.
