If your Epson XP-2105 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 XP-2105 uses a software counter to estimate pad saturation and locks printing at a set threshold.

Why the Epson XP-2105 Stops Printing (Waste Counter Limit)

Most Epson XP-2105 waste ink counter locks are solved by a software counter reset. Wic Reset Connect provides a straightforward procedure.
