If your Epson XP-7100 suddenly refuses to print and shows a maintenance warning, it is often caused by the waste ink (ink pad) counter threshold.

The Epson XP-7100 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.

Why Does the Epson XP-7100 Show ‘Service Required’?

With Wic Reset Connect, you can reset the Epson XP-7100 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
• Maintenance/support code (varies by model/driver)
• Printing stops after cleaning cycles
• Warning repeats after restarting the printer
