The Epson L3203 is a widely used Epson printer. Like many Epson devices, it can stop printing when the internal waste ink counter reaches its predefined limit.

During head cleaning and maintenance cycles, excess ink is routed to internal absorber pads. The Epson L3203 uses a software counter to estimate pad saturation and locks printing at a set threshold.

What Causes the Epson L3203 Ink Pad Counter Warning?

Most Epson L3203 waste ink counter locks are solved by a software counter reset. Wic Reset Connect provides a straightforward procedure.
