Model-specific reset guide
Epson TX600FW Reset Waste Ink Counter
If your Epson TX600FW 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.
What the Epson TX600FW service message means
During head cleaning and normal maintenance, unused ink is directed into internal absorber pads. Epson TX600FW 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 TX600FW. The physical waste ink system should still be inspected and maintained when necessary.
Reset the counter in Epson TX600FW
Complete these steps in order. A direct USB connection and the original Epson driver are essential for reliable communication.
-
Install the original driver
Install the official Epson driver for TX600FW and confirm that Windows can see the printer.
-
Connect directly by USB
Connect Epson TX600FW to the computer without Wi-Fi, a hub or an adapter.
-
Start Wic Reset Connect
Close Epson Status Monitor, run Wic Reset Connect as Administrator and select Epson TX600FW.
-
Enter the key and reset
Enter the purchased key, choose Reset and keep the printer connected until completion.
If Epson TX600FW is not detected
- Install the original Epson driver for TX600FW; a generic Windows driver may not expose the required communication interface.

- Close Epson Status Monitor and any other Epson maintenance software before starting Wic Reset Connect.
- Clear paused print jobs and restart both the printer and Windows if another program is holding the USB connection.
Epson TX600FW reset FAQ
What if the first reset attempt fails?
Correct the driver or USB communication problem first. If the key was consumed, use the new-key generator or contact support.
Does the reset clean or replace the ink pads?
No. It changes the stored counter value. Inspect, clean or replace the physical waste ink system when its condition requires it.
Does Epson TX600FW need service mode?
No. Epson printers do not use the Canon service-mode sequence. Connect the printer normally by USB.
