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.

Why Does the Epson ET-1113 Show ‘Service Required’?

With Wic Reset Connect, you can reset the Epson ET-1113 waste ink counter quickly using a Windows PC, USB connection, and a valid reset key.

How the Error Appears

• Printer refuses to print even with ink available
• Epson Status Monitor shows maintenance warning
• Blinking lights and blocked jobs
• Device is locked until reset is performed
