Fix Epson XP-231 Service Required – Waste Counter Reset

Epson XP-231 Waste Ink Counter Reset

The Epson XP-231 delivers reliable printing, but periodic maintenance routines can increase the waste ink counter and eventually trigger a ‘Service Required’ lock.

A waste ink counter in the Epson XP-231 accumulates after cleaning operations. Once it reaches a limit, printing is stopped to prevent overflow.
