The Epson B30 delivers reliable printing, but periodic maintenance routines can increase the waste ink counter and eventually trigger a ‘Service Required’ lock.

The Epson B30 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.

Why Does the Epson B30 Show ‘Service Required’?

With Wic Reset Connect, you can reset the Epson B30 waste ink counter quickly using a Windows PC, USB connection, and a valid reset key.

How the Error Appears

• Printer refuses to print even with ink available
• Epson Status Monitor shows maintenance warning
• Blinking lights and blocked jobs
• Device is locked until reset is performed
