Model-specific reset guide
爱普生 XP-225 重置废墨计数器
If your Epson XP-225 has stopped with an ink pad or service-life warning, the printer may have reached its waste ink counter limit. This model-specific guide explains what the message means and how to complete the reset with Wic Reset Connect.
The counter behind the Epson XP-225 warning
Waste ink produced by cleaning cycles is collected inside the printer. Epson XP-225 tracks those cycles electronically and can stop printing when the calculated limit is reached.
Wic Reset Connect is designed to reset the compatible counter in Epson XP-225. The physical waste ink system should still be inspected and maintained when necessary.

Epson XP-225 reset FAQ
What if the first reset attempt fails?
Correct the driver or USB communication problem first. If the key was consumed, use the new-key generator or contact support.
Does the reset clean or replace the ink pads?
No. It changes the stored counter value. Inspect, clean or replace the physical waste ink system when its condition requires it.
Does Epson XP-225 need service mode?
No. Epson printers do not use the Canon service-mode sequence. Connect the printer normally by USB.
