Epson WorkForce 625 Reset Waste Ink Counter
The service-required message on Epson WorkForce 625 often relates to the internal waste ink counter rather than an empty cartridge or paper fault. The steps below help you confirm and resolve that condition.
The counter behind the Epson WorkForce 625 warning
During head cleaning and normal maintenance, unused ink is directed into internal absorber pads. Epson WorkForce 625 estimates that accumulation with a software counter; it does not directly measure the physical amount of ink in the pads.
Wic Reset Connect is designed to reset the compatible counter in Epson WorkForce 625. The physical waste ink system should still be inspected and maintained when necessary.
Reset the counter in Epson WorkForce 625
The reset normally takes only a few minutes, but the printer must be detected correctly before the key is used.

Does the reset clean or replace the ink pads?
No. It changes the stored counter value. Inspect, clean or replace the physical waste ink system when its condition requires it.
Does Epson WorkForce 625 need service mode?
No. Epson printers do not use the Canon service-mode sequence. Connect the printer normally by USB.
What if the first reset attempt fails?
