Epson SX525WD Waste Ink Counter Reset
The Epson SX525WD delivers reliable printing, but periodic maintenance routines can increase the waste ink counter and eventually trigger a ‘Service Required’ lock.
During head cleaning and maintenance cycles, excess ink is routed to internal absorber pads. The Epson SX525WD uses a software counter to estimate pad saturation and locks printing at a set threshold.
