If your Epson R310 suddenly refuses to print and shows a maintenance warning, it is often caused by the waste ink (ink pad) counter threshold.

A waste ink counter in the Epson R310 accumulates after cleaning operations. Once it reaches a limit, printing is stopped to prevent overflow.

Why Does the Epson R310 Show ‘Service Required’?

With Wic Reset Connect, you can reset the Epson R310 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
