Epson L351 Waste Ink Counter Reset
When the Epson L351 reaches its maintenance threshold, Epson firmware may block printing as a safeguard. In most cases, this is resolved with a counter reset.
The Epson L351 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.

Typical Signs
- ‘Service Required’ / service life message in driver or utility
