If your Epson TX120 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 TX120 accumulates after cleaning operations. Once it reaches a limit, printing is stopped to prevent overflow.

Why Does the Epson TX120 Show ‘Service Required’?

Most Epson TX120 waste ink counter locks are solved by a software counter reset. Wic Reset Connect provides a straightforward procedure.

Typical Signs

• ‘Service Required’ / service life message in driver or utility
• Maintenance/support code (varies by model/driver)
• Printing stops after cleaning cycles
• Warning repeats after restarting the printer

Three Steps to Restore Epson TX120 Printing

1. Step 1: Prepare a Windows PC + USB cable and connect Epson TX120 directly. Keep Internet enabled for validation.
2. Step 2: Start Wic Reset Connect in Administrator mode and wait until Epson TX120 appears in the device list.
3. Step 3: Paste the reset key, click Reset, and after completion power-cycle Epson TX120.

Most Epson TX120 waste counter resets finish in ~1–2 minutes.
