Epson SX510W Ink Pad Counter Reset Guide

Epson SX510W Waste Ink Counter Reset

The Epson SX510W 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 SX510W uses a software counter to estimate pad saturation and locks printing at a set threshold.

Why Does the Epson SX510W Show ‘Service Required’?

A service visit is often unnecessary. Wic Reset Connect allows a safe Epson SX510W waste counter reset in minutes.
