Epson BX310FN Waste Ink Counter Reset
The Epson BX310FN delivers reliable printing, but periodic maintenance routines can increase the waste ink counter and eventually trigger a ‘Service Required’ lock.
During head cleaning and maintenance cycles, excess ink is routed to internal absorber pads. The Epson BX310FN uses a software counter to estimate pad saturation and locks printing at a set threshold.

Most Epson BX310FN waste ink counter locks are solved by a software counter reset. Wic Reset Connect provides a straightforward procedure.
