The Epson R210 delivers reliable printing, but periodic maintenance routines can increase the waste ink counter and eventually trigger a ‘Service Required’ lock.

The Epson R210 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.

Understanding the Epson R210 Waste Ink Counter

With Wic Reset Connect, you can reset the Epson R210 waste ink counter quickly using a Windows PC, USB connection, and a valid reset key.

Common Symptoms

• ‘Service Required’ / service life message in driver or utility
