Epson XP-235 Waste Ink Counter Reset
The Epson XP-235 delivers reliable printing, but periodic maintenance routines can increase the waste ink counter and eventually trigger a ‘Service Required’ lock.
The Epson XP-235 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 XP-235 Show ‘Service Required’?
