Epson L3251 Waste Ink Counter Reset

The Epson L3251 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 L3251 uses a software counter to estimate pad saturation and locks printing at a set threshold.

Why Does the Epson L3251 Show ‘Service Required’?

Most Epson L3251 waste ink counter locks are solved by a software counter reset. Wic Reset Connect provides a straightforward procedure.

How the Error Appears

  • ‘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

Three Steps to Restore Epson L3251 Printing

  1. Step 1: Use a Windows PC (7–11) with Internet access. Connect Epson L3251 via USB (Wi-Fi reset is not supported).
  2. Step 2: Start Wic Reset Connect in Administrator mode and wait until Epson L3251 appears in the device list.
  3. Step 3: Use the key to reset the counter, wait for completion, then restart Epson L3251 to finalize.

Most Epson L3251 waste counter resets finish in ~1–2 minutes.
