Epson L300 Waste Ink Counter Reset

When the Epson L300 reaches its maintenance threshold, Epson firmware may block printing as a safeguard. In most cases, this is resolved with a counter reset.

The Epson L300 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.

Understanding the Epson L300 Waste Ink Counter

With Wic Reset Connect, you can reset the Epson L300 waste ink counter quickly using a Windows PC, USB connection, and a valid reset key.

How the Error Appears

• ‘Service Required’ / service life message in driver or utility
• Maintenance/support code (varies by model/driver)
• Printing stops after cleaning cycles
• Warning repeats after restarting the printer

Three Steps to Restore Epson L300 Printing

1. Fase 1: Use a Windows PC (7–11) with Internet access. Connect Epson L300 via USB (Wi-Fi reset is not supported).
2. Fase 2: Run Wic Reset Connect as Administrator and confirm Epson L300 is detected.
3. Fase 3: Use the key to reset the counter, wait for completion, then restart Epson L300 to finalize.

Most Epson L300 waste counter resets finish in ~1–2 minutes.

Troubleshooting

• Close Epson Status Monitor or other printer utilities.
• Restart printer and PC, then try again.
• Temporarily disable VPN/proxy if validation fails.
• Use a direct USB connection (avoid hubs).
• Try another USB cable (some cables are charge-only).
