If your Epson XP-445 suddenly refuses to print and shows a maintenance warning, it is often caused by the waste ink (ink pad) counter threshold.

The Epson XP-445 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.

What Causes the Epson XP-445 Ink Pad Counter Warning?

Most Epson XP-445 waste ink counter locks are solved by a software counter reset. Wic Reset Connect fornisce una procedura semplice.

Sintomi comuni

• ‘Messaggio ’Service Required' / service life nel driver o nell'utility
• Codice di manutenzione/assistenza (varia a seconda del modello/driver)
• La stampa si interrompe dopo i cicli di pulizia
