When the Epson XP-600 reaches its maintenance threshold, Epson firmware may block printing as a safeguard. In most cases, this is resolved with a counter reset.

The Epson XP-600 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.

What Causes the Epson XP-600 Ink Pad Counter Warning?

Typical Signs

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