PRODUCT / OVERVIEW

Put printer maintenance
into clear steps.

PrinterCare is independently developed printer maintenance software. It helps you read the waste ink counter on supported devices and reset it after physical service.

CORE FEATURES

Four essential tasks.

The first release focuses on waste ink counter maintenance and keeps unrelated tools out of the interface.

01

Detect printers

Identify the model over USB. If multiple devices are connected, you choose the target printer.

02

Read the counter

Read the waste ink percentage for free. The app explains readings with plain-language status messages.

03

Reset and verify

After safety confirmation, Pro resets the counter and reads the actual result again. A completed command is not presented as a verified zero reading.

Fourth, the app shows operation results and lets you copy diagnostic information to understand failures. Diagnostics do not include print documents or printer serial numbers.

PHYSICAL AND DIGITAL

Real waste ink
needs real handling.

The app can read and reset a maintenance counter, but cannot replace cleaning or replacing a waste ink pad. Ask an experienced repair technician if you do not know the printer's construction.

SAFETY BOUNDARIES
