Epson SX425W Waste Ink Counter Reset

The Epson SX425W delivers reliable printing, but periodic maintenance routines can increase the waste ink counter and eventually trigger a ‘Service Required’ lock.

A waste ink counter in the Epson SX425W accumulates after cleaning operations. Once it reaches a limit, printing is stopped to prevent overflow.

Most Epson SX425W waste ink counter locks are solved by a software counter reset. Wic Reset Connect provides a straightforward procedure.

Common Symptoms
