Epson CX4000 Waste Ink Counter Reset

When the Epson CX4000 reaches its maintenance threshold, Epson firmware may block printing as a safeguard. In most cases, this is resolved with a counter reset.

During head cleaning and maintenance cycles, excess ink is routed to internal absorber pads. The Epson CX4000 uses a software counter to estimate pad saturation and locks printing at a set threshold.

Typical Signs

• Printer refuses to print even with ink available
