Fix Epson TX219 Service Required – Waste Counter Reset

Epson TX219 Waste Ink Counter Reset

If your Epson TX219 suddenly refuses to print and shows a maintenance warning, it is often caused by the waste ink (ink pad) counter threshold.

During head cleaning and maintenance cycles, excess ink is routed to internal absorber pads. The Epson TX219 uses a software counter to estimate pad saturation and locks printing at a set threshold.

Why Does the Epson TX219 Show ‘Service Required’?

A service visit is often unnecessary. Wic Reset Connect allows a safe Epson TX219 waste counter reset in minutes.

Typical Signs

  • ‘Service Required’ / service life message in driver or utility
  • Maintenance/support code (varies by model/driver)
