The Epson L3270 is a widely used Epson printer. Like many Epson devices, it can stop printing when the internal waste ink counter reaches its predefined limit.

A waste ink counter in the Epson L3270 accumulates after cleaning operations. Once it reaches a limit, printing is stopped to prevent overflow.

Why Does the Epson L3270 Show ‘Service Required’?

Most Epson L3270 waste ink counter locks are solved by a software counter reset. Wic Reset Connect provides a straightforward procedure.

Typical Signs

• ‘Service Required’ / service life message in driver or utility
