Epson DX8400 Waste Ink Counter Reset

When the Epson DX8400 reaches its maintenance threshold, Epson firmware may block printing as a safeguard. In most cases, this is resolved with a counter reset.

The Epson DX8400 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.

A service visit is often unnecessary. Wic Reset Connect allows a safe Epson DX8400 waste counter reset in minutes.

How the Error Appears

• Printer refuses to print even with ink available
• Epson Status Monitor shows maintenance warning
