Epson L1300 Ink Pad Counter Reset Guide

Epson L1300 Waste Ink Counter Reset

The Epson L1300 delivers reliable printing, but periodic maintenance routines can increase the waste ink counter and eventually trigger a ‘Service Required’ lock.

The Epson L1300 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.
