Epson K200 Waste Ink Counter Reset

The Epson K200 delivers reliable printing, but periodic maintenance routines can increase the waste ink counter and eventually trigger a ‘Service Required’ lock.

A waste ink counter in the Epson K200 accumulates after cleaning operations. Once it reaches a limit, printing is stopped to prevent overflow.

Typical Signs

  • Printer refuses to print even with ink available
