Epson CX5900 Waste Ink Counter Reset
The Epson CX5900 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 CX5900 uses a software counter to estimate pad saturation and locks printing at a set threshold.
