Epson T21 Waste Ink Counter Reset

If your Epson T21 suddenly refuses to print and shows a maintenance warning, it is often caused by the waste ink (ink pad) counter threshold.

A waste ink counter in the Epson T21 accumulates after cleaning operations. Once it reaches a limit, printing is stopped to prevent overflow.
