Epson NX200 Waste Ink Counter Reset
If your Epson NX200 suddenly refuses to print and shows a maintenance warning, it is often caused by the waste ink (ink pad) counter threshold.
The Epson NX200 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 the Epson NX200 Stops Printing (Waste Counter Limit)
A service visit is often unnecessary. Wic Reset Connect allows a safe Epson NX200 waste counter reset in minutes.
Common Symptoms
- ‘Service Required’ / service life message in driver or utility
- Maintenance/support code (varies by model/driver)
- Printing stops after cleaning cycles
