Model-specific reset guide
Epson RX565 Reset Waste Ink Counter
If your Epson RX565 has stopped with an ink pad or service-life warning, the printer may have reached its waste ink counter limit. This model-specific guide explains what the message means and how to complete the reset with Wic Reset Connect.
Why Epson RX565 stops printing
During head cleaning and normal maintenance, unused ink is directed into internal absorber pads. Epson RX565 estimates that accumulation with a software counter; it does not directly measure the physical amount of ink in the pads.
Wic Reset Connect is designed to reset the compatible counter in Epson RX565. The physical waste ink system should still be inspected and maintained when necessary.

Epson RX565 reset FAQ
Does Epson RX565 need service mode?
No. Epson printers do not use the Canon service-mode sequence. Connect the printer normally by USB.
