Epson C120 Waste Ink Counter Reset
The Epson C120 delivers reliable printing, but periodic maintenance routines can increase the waste ink counter and eventually trigger a ‘Service Required’ lock.
The Epson C120 tracks waste ink with an internal counter. Because it is an estimate (not a physical sensor), it may trigger before the pads are actually full.

Typical Signs
- ‘Service Required’ / service life message in driver or utility
