If your Epson L555 suddenly refuses to print and shows a maintenance warning, it is often caused by the waste ink (ink pad) counter threshold.

The Epson L555 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.

Why Does the Epson L555 Show ‘Service Required’?

With Wic Reset Connect, you can reset the Epson L555 waste ink counter quickly using a Windows PC, USB connection, and a valid reset key.

Common Symptoms

• ‘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
