Epson XP-413 Waste Ink Counter Reset

If your Epson XP-413 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 XP-413 uses a software counter to estimate pad saturation and locks printing at a set threshold.

Most Epson XP-413 waste ink counter locks are solved by a software counter reset. Wic Reset Connect provides a straightforward procedure.

Common Symptoms

• ‘Service Required’ / service life message in driver or utility
