Epson ET-1113 Waste Ink Counter Reset
The Epson ET-1113 delivers reliable printing, but periodic maintenance routines can increase the waste ink counter and eventually trigger a ‘Service Required’ lock.
The Epson ET-1113 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.

How the Error Appears
