Epson NX515 Waste Ink Counter Reset
The Epson NX515 delivers reliable printing, but periodic maintenance routines can increase the waste ink counter and eventually trigger a ‘Service Required’ lock.
During head cleaning and maintenance cycles, excess ink is routed to internal absorber pads. The Epson NX515 uses a software counter to estimate pad saturation and locks printing at a set threshold.
Why Does the Epson NX515 Show ‘Service Required’?
Most Epson NX515 waste ink counter locks are solved by a software counter reset. Wic Reset Connect provides a straightforward procedure.
Common Symptoms
- ‘Service Required’ / service life message in driver or utility
- Maintenance/support code (varies by model/driver)
