How to Reset Epson NX120 Waste Ink Counter

Epson NX120 Waste Ink Counter Reset

When the Epson NX120 reaches its maintenance threshold, Epson firmware may block printing as a safeguard. In most cases, this is resolved with a counter reset.

The Epson NX120 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.
