Epson TX220 Waste Ink Counter Reset
If your Epson TX220 suddenly refuses to print and shows a maintenance warning, it is often caused by the waste ink (ink pad) counter threshold.
The Epson TX220 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 TX220 Show ‘Service Required’?
A service visit is often unnecessary. Wic Reset Connect allows a safe Epson TX220 waste counter reset in minutes.
How the Error Appears
