If your Epson NX125 suddenly refuses to print and shows a maintenance warning, it is often caused by the waste ink (ink pad) counter threshold.

A waste ink counter in the Epson NX125 accumulates after cleaning operations. Once it reaches a limit, printing is stopped to prevent overflow.

What Causes the Epson NX125 Ink Pad Counter Warning?

Most Epson NX125 waste ink counter locks are solved by a software counter reset. Wic Reset Connect provides a straightforward procedure.

Common Symptoms

• Printer refuses to print even with ink available
