The Epson TX117 is a widely used Epson printer. Like many Epson devices, it can stop printing when the internal waste ink counter reaches its predefined limit.

During head cleaning and maintenance cycles, excess ink is routed to internal absorber pads. The Epson TX117 uses a software counter to estimate pad saturation and locks printing at a set threshold.

Why the Epson TX117 Stops Printing (Waste Counter Limit)

Most Epson TX117 waste ink counter locks are solved by a software counter reset. Wic Reset Connect provides a straightforward procedure.

Common Symptoms

• ‘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
