Epson SX400 Ink Pad Counter Reset Guide

Epson SX400 Waste Ink Counter Reset

The Epson SX400 delivers reliable printing, but periodic maintenance routines can increase the waste ink counter and eventually trigger a ‘Service Required’ lock.

The Epson SX400 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 SX400 Show ‘Service Required’?

Most Epson SX400 waste ink counter locks are solved by a software counter reset. Wic Reset Connect provides a straightforward procedure.

Common Symptoms

  • 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
