01 / SIMPLE WITH SAFEGUARDS

From connection to result,
every step is clear.

You do not need to understand device protocols or command lines. The Mac and Windows apps use the system language to display English or Chinese and keep the essential information on screen.

01 — DETECT

Detect your printer automatically

Connect a USB printer to see its model, connection, and support status. If identification results conflict, the app stops before writing to the device.Search supported models ↗

02 — READ

Read the counter for free

See the waste ink counter as a percentage with plain-language maintenance guidance. Reading the counter is free.

03 — MAINTAIN

Reset only after confirmation

Pro requires you to confirm the waste ink collection parts have been cleaned or replaced, then reads the result again. One license code covers up to two printers.Learn about Pro licensing ↗

Before maintenance,
understand the status.

The printer itself provides the status that matters. PrinterCare brings its model, waste ink counter, and current guidance together so you can choose the next step.

A CLEAR PROCESS

See what happens
at each step.

The app shows real readings and asks you to confirm waste ink pad service before resetting. These are two key screens in the process.

01 / BEFORE RESETIt clearly asks you to handle the physical waste ink and check the confirmation box.

02 / READ THE RESULT AGAINIt shows the device's actual reading without assuming it will be 0%.

Illustrations are based on the current desktop app. Actual values depend on the connected printer.

02 / A RELIABLE ORDER

Handle the waste ink first.
Then reset the counter.

The counter is a maintenance reminder. Resetting a number does not remove accumulated waste ink.

SAFETY BY DESIGN

If the model is uncertain,
the operation stops.

Reset is available only when the model is supported and consistent and the connection is sound. You must also confirm waste ink pad service first.
