The Epson L3211 is a widely used Epson printer. Like many Epson devices, it can stop printing when the internal waste ink counter reaches its predefined limit.

The Epson L3211 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 L3211 Show ‘Service Required’?

A service visit is often unnecessary. Wic Reset Connect allows a safe Epson L3211 waste counter reset in minutes.

How the Error Appears

• Printer refuses to print even with ink available
