When the Epson SX235 reaches its maintenance threshold, Epson firmware may block printing as a safeguard. In most cases, this is resolved with a counter reset.

The Epson SX235 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.

With Wic Reset Connect, you can reset the Epson SX235 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
