iWIC – WICReset for Mac OS
MacOS users are able to make use of the iWIC app which has matured nicely and now provides a stable utility to access and reset the waste ink counter on a wide range of Epson (and some Canon) printers.
The app includes a number of additional functions such as the service report and error code references so it can be useful in diagnosing non-waste ink related issues too.
Downloading iWIC
The iWIC utility can be downloaded via this page.
Instructions/Usage
We have created a number of videos on our YouTube channel that show the process for both installing and using the iWIC utility including some critical steps to clear security warnings, etc..
A second video that focuses on the MacOS iWIC installation process is also available here.
iWIC Compatibility
The iWIC utility includes a “Supported Models” tab which details which printers the utility is compatible with.
MacOS version 10.7.x or newer is required to be able to use the iWIC app/utility.
MacOS too old or incompatible?
In instances where your Mac will not allow you to use the iWIC service we recommend asking friends, family or colleagues if you can borrow or use a compatible computer system. While not ideal, the reset process only needs temporary access to complete and then the printer can be returned to your existing Mac.
In such situations our standard recommendation is that you borrow or purchase a windows capable laptop with Windows 2000 or XP installed, install your printer drivers, and then reset the utility using that.
You should be able to find a suitable laptop for very little money from a computer repair shop, charity shop or simply by asking friends, work, etc..
