If your Epson ET-2702 suddenly refuses to print and shows a maintenance warning, it is often caused by the waste ink (ink pad) counter threshold.

The Epson ET-2702 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 ET-2702 Show ‘Service Required’?

Most Epson ET-2702 waste ink counter locks are solved by a software counter reset. Wic Reset Connect provides a straightforward procedure.
