When the Epson M200 reaches its maintenance threshold, Epson firmware may block printing as a safeguard. In most cases, this is resolved with a counter reset.

A waste ink counter in the Epson M200 accumulates after cleaning operations. Once it reaches a limit, printing is stopped to prevent overflow.

Why Does the Epson M200 Show ‘Service Required’?

With Wic Reset Connect, you can reset the Epson M200 waste ink counter quickly using a Windows PC, USB connection, and a valid reset key.

Typical Signs

• Printer refuses to print even with ink available
• Epson Status Monitor shows maintenance warning
