If your Epson XP-413 suddenly refuses to print and shows a maintenance warning, it is often caused by the waste ink (ink pad) counter threshold.

The Epson XP-413 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.

What Causes the Epson XP-413 Ink Pad Counter Warning?

Most Epson XP-413 waste ink counter locks are solved by a software counter reset. Wic Reset Connect provides a straightforward procedure.

Common Symptoms

• Printer refuses to print even with ink available
• Epson Status Monitor shows maintenance warning
• Blinking lights and blocked jobs
• Device is locked until reset is performed
