The Epson XP-810 delivers reliable printing, but periodic maintenance routines can increase the waste ink counter and eventually trigger a ‘Service Required’ lock.

A waste ink counter in the Epson XP-810 accumulates after cleaning operations. Once it reaches a limit, printing is stopped to prevent overflow.

Most Epson XP-810 waste ink counter locks are solved by a software counter reset. Wic Reset Connect provides a straightforward procedure.
