Fix Epson NX125 Service Required – Waste Counter Reset

Epson NX125 Waste Ink Counter Reset

If your Epson NX125 suddenly refuses to print and shows a maintenance warning, it is often caused by the waste ink (ink pad) counter threshold.

The Epson NX125 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.
