If your Epson L365 suddenly refuses to print and shows a maintenance warning, it is often caused by the waste ink (ink pad) counter threshold.

During head cleaning and maintenance cycles, excess ink is routed to internal absorber pads. The Epson L365 uses a software counter to estimate pad saturation and locks printing at a set threshold.

What Causes the Epson L365 Ink Pad Counter Warning?

With Wic Reset Connect, you can reset the Epson L365 waste ink counter quickly using a Windows PC, USB connection, and a valid reset key.

How the Error Appears

• ‘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
