If your Epson CX3900 suddenly refuses to print and shows a maintenance warning, it is often caused by the waste ink (ink pad) counter threshold.

During head cleaning and maintenance cycles, excess ink is routed to internal absorber pads. The Epson CX3900 uses a software counter to estimate pad saturation and locks printing at a set threshold.

Why the Epson CX3900 Stops Printing (Waste Counter Limit)

A service visit is often unnecessary. Wic Reset Connect allows a safe Epson CX3900 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
