Epson L3283 Waste Ink Counter Reset

If your Epson L3283 suddenly refuses to print and shows a maintenance warning, it is often caused by the waste ink (ink pad) counter threshold.

The Epson L3283 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 the Epson L3283 Stops Printing (Waste Counter Limit)

Most Epson L3283 waste ink counter locks are solved by a software counter reset. Wic Reset Connect provides a straightforward procedure.

Typical Signs

  • ‘Service Required’ / service life message in driver or utility
  • Maintenance/support code (varies by model/driver)
  • Printing stops after cleaning cycles
  • Warning repeats after restarting the printer
