Fix Epson XP-405 Service Required – Waste Counter Reset

Epson XP-405 Waste Ink Counter Reset

The Epson XP-405 delivers reliable printing, but periodic maintenance routines can increase the waste ink counter and eventually trigger a ‘Service Required’ lock.

The Epson XP-405 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.
