The Epson K101 is a widely used Epson printer. Like many Epson devices, it can stop printing when the internal waste ink counter reaches its predefined limit.

A waste ink counter in the Epson K101 accumulates after cleaning operations. Once it reaches a limit, printing is stopped to prevent overflow.

Why Does the Epson K101 Show ‘Service Required’?

Most Epson K101 waste ink counter locks are solved by a software counter reset. Wic Reset Connect provides a straightforward procedure.
