Epson XP-241 Waste Ink Counter Reset

The Epson XP-241 delivers reliable printing, but periodic maintenance routines can increase the waste ink counter and eventually trigger a ‘Service Required’ lock.

The Epson XP-241 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 XP-241 Stops Printing (Waste Counter Limit)

With Wic Reset Connect, you can reset the Epson XP-241 waste ink counter quickly using a Windows PC, USB connection, and a valid reset key.

How the Error Appears

• ‘Service Required’ / service life message in driver or utility
• Maintenance/support code (varies by model/driver)
