The Epson RX560 is a widely used Epson printer. Like many Epson devices, it can stop printing when the internal waste ink counter reaches its predefined limit.

The Epson RX560 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 the Epson RX560 Stops Printing (Waste Counter Limit)

A service visit is often unnecessary. Wic Reset Connect allows a safe Epson RX560 waste counter reset in minutes.

How the Error Appears

• Printer refuses to print even with ink available
• Epson Status Monitor shows maintenance warning
• Blinking lights and blocked jobs
• Device is locked until reset is performed

Three Steps to Restore Epson RX560 Printing

1. Step 1: Prepare a Windows PC + USB cable and connect Epson RX560 directly. Keep Internet enabled for validation.
2. Step 2: Start Wic Reset Connect in Administrator mode and wait until Epson RX560 appears in the device list.
3. Step 3: Use the key to reset the counter, wait for completion, then restart Epson RX560 to finalize.

Most Epson RX560 waste counter resets finish in ~1–2 minutes.

Common Fixes
