The Epson XP-950 delivers reliable printing, but periodic maintenance routines can increase the waste ink counter and eventually trigger a ‘Service Required’ lock.

A waste ink counter in the Epson XP-950 accumulates after cleaning operations. Once it reaches a limit, printing is stopped to prevent overflow.

Why Does the Epson XP-950 Show ‘Service Required’?

A service visit is often unnecessary. Wic Reset Connect allows a safe Epson XP-950 waste counter reset in minutes.

Common Symptoms

• ‘Service Required’ / service life message in driver or utility
• Maintenance/support code (varies by model/driver)
• Printing stops after cleaning cycles
• Warning repeats after restarting the printer
