How to Reset Epson R1800 Waste Ink Counter

Epson R1800 Waste Ink Counter Reset

If your Epson R1800 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 R1800 uses a software counter to estimate pad saturation and locks printing at a set threshold.

Most Epson R1800 waste ink counter locks are solved by a software counter reset. Wic Reset Connect provides a straightforward procedure.
