The Epson XP-325 delivers reliable printing, but periodic maintenance routines can increase the waste ink counter and eventually trigger a ‘Service Required’ lock.

A waste ink counter in the Epson XP-325 accumulates after cleaning operations. Once it reaches a limit, printing is stopped to prevent overflow.

A service visit is often unnecessary. Wic Reset Connect allows a safe Epson XP-325 waste counter reset in minutes.

How the Error Appears
