Epson SX435W Waste Ink Counter Reset

If your Epson SX435W suddenly refuses to print and shows a maintenance warning, it is often caused by the waste ink (ink pad) counter threshold.

The Epson SX435W 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.

Why Does the Epson SX435W Show ‘Service Required’?

A service visit is often unnecessary. Wic Reset Connect allows a safe Epson SX435W waste counter reset in minutes.

How the Error Appears

• Printer refuses to print even with ink available
