The Epson L355 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 L355 accumulates after cleaning operations. Once it reaches a limit, printing is stopped to prevent overflow.

Typical Signs

• Printer refuses to print even with ink available
