Epson L3250 Waste Ink Counter Reset
When the Epson L3250 reaches its maintenance threshold, Epson firmware may block printing as a safeguard. In most cases, this is resolved with a counter reset.
The Epson L3250 tracks waste ink with an internal counter. Because it is an estimate (not a physical sensor), it may trigger before the pads are actually full.
Why Does the Epson L3250 Show ‘Service Required’?
Most Epson L3250 waste ink counter locks are solved by a software counter reset. Wic Reset Connect provides a straightforward procedure.

- Printer refuses to print even with ink available
