Fix Epson K300 Service Required – Waste Counter Reset

Epson K300 Waste Ink Counter Reset

If your Epson K300 suddenly refuses to print and shows a maintenance warning, it is often caused by the waste ink (ink pad) counter threshold.

A waste ink counter in the Epson K300 accumulates after cleaning operations. Once it reaches a limit, printing is stopped to prevent overflow.

How the Error Appears
