Epson TX235W Waste Ink Counter Reset

If your Epson TX235W suddenly refuses to print and shows a maintenance warning, it is often caused by the waste ink (ink pad) counter threshold.

During head cleaning and maintenance cycles, excess ink is routed to internal absorber pads. The Epson TX235W uses a software counter to estimate pad saturation and locks printing at a set threshold.

Most Epson TX235W waste ink counter locks are solved by a software counter reset. Wic Reset Connect provides a straightforward procedure.

Common Symptoms

• Printer refuses to print even with ink available
