Epson XP-352 Waste Ink Counter Reset
The Epson XP-352 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 XP-352 uses a software counter to estimate pad saturation and locks printing at a set threshold.
Why Does the Epson XP-352 Show ‘Service Required’?
A service visit is often unnecessary. Wic Reset Connect allows a safe Epson XP-352 waste counter reset in minutes.
Typical Signs
- ‘Service Required’ / service life message in driver or utility
- Maintenance/support code (varies by model/driver)
