If your Epson XP-423 suddenly refuses to print and shows a maintenance warning, it is often caused by the waste ink (ink pad) counter threshold.

The Epson XP-423 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-423 Ink Pad Counter Warning?

A service visit is often unnecessary. Wic Reset Connect allows a safe Epson XP-423 waste counter reset in minutes.

Typical Signs

• ‘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
