Epson WF-2665 Waste Ink Counter Reset

If your Epson WF-2665 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 WF-2665 uses a software counter to estimate pad saturation and locks printing at a set threshold.

What Causes the Epson WF-2665 Ink Pad Counter Warning?

Most Epson WF-2665 waste ink counter locks are solved by a software counter reset. Wic Reset Connect provides a straightforward procedure.

Typical Signs

• Printer refuses to print even with ink available
