Epson RX580 Waste Ink Counter Reset
The Epson RX580 delivers reliable printing, but periodic maintenance routines can increase the waste ink counter and eventually trigger a ‘Service Required’ lock.
During head cleaning and maintenance cycles, excess ink is routed to internal absorber pads. The Epson RX580 uses a software counter to estimate pad saturation and locks printing at a set threshold.
Why Does the Epson RX580 Show ‘Service Required’?
A service visit is often unnecessary. Wic Reset Connect allows a safe Epson RX580 waste counter reset in minutes.
