Epson ET-2875 Reset Waste Ink Counter
The service-required message on Epson ET-2875 often relates to the internal waste ink counter rather than an empty cartridge or paper fault. The steps below help you confirm and resolve that condition.
The counter behind the Epson ET-2875 warning
An ink pad message is a maintenance safeguard. It indicates that Epson ET-2875 has reached a stored waste ink value that must be reset before normal printing can resume.
Wic Reset Connect is designed to reset the compatible counter in Epson ET-2875. The physical waste ink system should still be inspected and maintained when necessary.
