Fix Epson M1108 Service Required – Waste Counter Reset

Epson M1108 Waste Ink Counter Reset

If your Epson M1108 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 M1108 uses a software counter to estimate pad saturation and locks printing at a set threshold.
