Epson PX-404A Waste Ink Counter Reset
The Epson PX-404A delivers reliable printing, but periodic maintenance routines can increase the waste ink counter and eventually trigger a ‘Service Required’ lock.
The Epson PX-404A 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 PX-404A Show ‘Service Required’?
