If your Epson TX800FW suddenly refuses to print and shows a maintenance warning, it is often caused by the waste ink (ink pad) counter threshold.

The Epson TX800FW 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 TX800FW Stops Printing (Waste Counter Limit)

A service visit is often unnecessary. Wic Reset Connect allows a safe Epson TX800FW waste counter reset in minutes.

How the Error Appears

• ‘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
