Fix Epson R280 Service Required – Waste Counter Reset

Epson R280 Waste Ink Counter Reset

If your Epson R280 suddenly refuses to print and shows a maintenance warning, it is often caused by the waste ink (ink pad) counter threshold.

During head cleaning and maintenance cycles, excess ink is routed to internal absorber pads. The Epson R280 uses a software counter to estimate pad saturation and locks printing at a set threshold.

What Causes the Epson R280 Ink Pad Counter Warning?

Most Epson R280 waste ink counter locks are solved by a software counter reset. Wic Reset Connect provides a straightforward procedure.

How the Error Appears

  • Printer refuses to print even with ink available
  • Epson Status Monitor shows maintenance warning
  • Blinking lights and blocked jobs
  • Device is locked until reset is performed
