How to Reset Epson XP-425 Waste Ink Counter

Epson XP-425 Waste Ink Counter Reset

If your Epson XP-425 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-425 uses a software counter to estimate pad saturation and locks printing at a set threshold.

Most Epson XP-425 waste ink counter locks are solved by a software counter reset. Wic Reset Connect provides a straightforward procedure.
