Epson R2000 Waste Ink Counter Reset
The Epson R2000 delivers reliable printing, but periodic maintenance routines can increase the waste ink counter and eventually trigger a ‘Service Required’ lock.
A waste ink counter in the Epson R2000 accumulates after cleaning operations. Once it reaches a limit, printing is stopped to prevent overflow.
