If your Epson XP-455 suddenly refuses to print and shows a maintenance warning, it is often caused by the waste ink (ink pad) counter threshold.

The Epson XP-455 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.

What Causes the Epson XP-455 Ink Pad Counter Warning?

With Wic Reset Connect, you can reset the Epson XP-455 waste ink counter quickly using a Windows PC, USB connection, and a valid reset key.

Typical Signs
