The C9344 Chip Resetter, which is available in Kenya is a maintenance tool designed for Epson printers to reset the waste ink counter on the C9344 (C12C934461) maintenance box. It is primarily a third-party accessory used to extend the life of the maintenance tank by resetting its electronic chip to 100% capacity.
