Model-specific reset guide
Epson XP-200 Reset Waste Ink Counter
If your Epson XP-200 has stopped with an ink pad or service-life warning, the printer may have reached its waste ink counter limit. This model-specific guide explains what the message means and how to complete the reset with Wic Reset Connect.
Before resetting Epson XP-200
Every cleaning cycle sends a small amount of ink to the waste ink system. Epson XP-200 adds that activity to its counter and displays a maintenance warning when the programmed threshold is reached.
Wic Reset Connect is designed to reset the compatible counter in Epson XP-200. The physical waste ink system should still be inspected and maintained when necessary.
