The Epson WF-7011 delivers reliable printing, but periodic maintenance routines can increase the waste ink counter and eventually trigger a ‘Service Required’ lock.

The Epson WF-7011 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 WF-7011 Stops Printing (Waste Counter Limit)

A service visit is often unnecessary. Wic Reset Connect allows a safe Epson WF-7011 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

1. Step 1: Prepare a Windows PC + USB cable and connect Epson WF-7011 directly. Keep Internet enabled for validation.

3. Step 3: Enter your reset key and press Reset. Wait ~1–2 minutes, then restart Epson WF-7011.
