Fix Epson TX209 Service Required – Waste Counter Reset

Epson TX209 Waste Ink Counter Reset

The Epson TX209 delivers reliable printing, but periodic maintenance routines can increase the waste ink counter and eventually trigger a ‘Service Required’ lock.

The Epson TX209 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.

Most Epson TX209 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
