When the Epson NX105 reaches its maintenance threshold, Epson firmware may block printing as a safeguard. In most cases, this is resolved with a counter reset.

The Epson NX105 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 NX105 Show ‘Service Required’?

With Wic Reset Connect, you can reset the Epson NX105 waste ink counter quickly using a Windows PC, USB connection, and a valid reset key.

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

1. Step 1: Prepare a Windows PC + USB cable and connect Epson NX105 directly. Keep Internet enabled for validation.
2. Step 2: Open Wic Reset Connect with admin privileges and verify device recognition for Epson NX105.
3. Step 3: Paste the reset key, click Reset, and after completion power-cycle Epson NX105.

Most Epson NX105 waste counter resets finish in ~1–2 minutes.
