The service-required message on Epson NX205 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.
Why the ink pad counter blocks Epson NX205
An ink pad message is a maintenance safeguard. It indicates that Epson NX205 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 NX205. The physical waste ink system should still be inspected and maintained when necessary.
