The Epson NX430 delivers reliable printing, but periodic maintenance routines can increase the waste ink counter and eventually trigger a ‘Service Required’ lock.

The Epson NX430 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 the Epson NX430 Stops Printing (Waste Counter Limit)

Most Epson NX430 waste ink counter locks are solved by a software counter reset. Wic Reset Connect provides a straightforward procedure.
