If your Epson XP-640 suddenly refuses to print and shows a maintenance warning, it is often caused by the waste ink (ink pad) counter threshold.

During head cleaning and maintenance cycles, excess ink is routed to internal absorber pads. The Epson XP-640 uses a software counter to estimate pad saturation and locks printing at a set threshold.

Why the Epson XP-640 Stops Printing (Waste Counter Limit)

A service visit is often unnecessary. Wic Reset Connect allows a safe Epson XP-640 waste counter reset in minutes.

How the Error Appears

• ‘Service Required’ / service life message in driver or utility
• Maintenance/support code (varies by model/driver)
• Printing stops after cleaning cycles
• Warning repeats after restarting the printer

Three Steps to Restore Epson XP-640 Printing

1. Step 1: Prepare a Windows PC + USB cable and connect Epson XP-640 directly. Keep Internet enabled for validation.
2. Step 2: Run Wic Reset Connect as Administrator and confirm Epson XP-640 is detected.
3. Step 3: Use the key to reset the counter, wait for completion, then restart Epson XP-640 to finalize.

Most Epson XP-640 waste counter resets finish in ~1–2 minutes.
