Fix Epson N11 Service Required – Waste Counter Reset

Epson N11 Waste Ink Counter Reset

The Epson N11 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 N11 uses a software counter to estimate pad saturation and locks printing at a set threshold.

Why Does the Epson N11 Show ‘Service Required’?

Most Epson N11 waste ink counter locks are solved by a software counter reset. Wic Reset Connect provides a straightforward procedure.

How the Error Appears

  • Printer refuses to print even with ink available
  • Epson Status Monitor shows maintenance warning
  • Blinking lights and blocked jobs
  • Device is locked until reset is performed
