Reset Epson SX205 Waste Ink Counter in Minutes

Epson SX205 Waste Ink Counter Reset

If your Epson SX205 suddenly refuses to print and shows a maintenance warning, it is often caused by the waste ink (ink pad) counter threshold.

The Epson SX205 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.
