Epson XP-104 Waste Ink Counter Reset

The Epson XP-104 delivers reliable printing, but periodic maintenance routines can increase the waste ink counter and eventually trigger a ‘Service Required’ lock.

During head cleaning and maintenance cycles, excess ink is routed to internal absorber pads. The Epson XP-104 uses a software counter to estimate pad saturation and locks printing at a set threshold.

Why Does the Epson XP-104 Show ‘Service Required’?

A service visit is often unnecessary. Wic Reset Connect allows a safe Epson XP-104 waste counter reset in minutes.

Typical Signs

• ‘Service Required’ / service life message in driver or utility
• Maintenance/support code (varies by model/driver)
• Printing stops after cleaning cycles
• Warning repeats after restarting the printer
