How to Reset Epson EP-803A Waste Ink Counter

Epson EP-803A Waste Ink Counter Reset

If your Epson EP-803A suddenly refuses to print and shows a maintenance warning, it is often caused by the waste ink (ink pad) counter threshold.

The Epson EP-803A 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.

Understanding the Epson EP-803A Waste Ink Counter

Most Epson EP-803A waste ink counter locks are solved by a software counter reset. Wic Reset Connect provides a straightforward procedure.

Typical Signs

  • 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
