If your Epson NX205 suddenly refuses to print and shows a maintenance warning, it is often caused by the waste ink (ink pad) counter threshold.

A waste ink counter in the Epson NX205 accumulates after cleaning operations. Once it reaches a limit, printing is stopped to prevent overflow.

A service visit is often unnecessary. Wic Reset Connect allows a safe Epson NX205 waste counter reset in minutes.

Common Symptoms

• ‘Service Required’ / service life message in driver or utility
• Maintenance/support code (varies by model/driver)
