When the Epson ET-4700 reaches its maintenance threshold, Epson firmware may block printing as a safeguard. In most cases, this is resolved with a counter reset.

The Epson ET-4700 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 ET-4700 Ink Pad Counter Warning?

A service visit is often unnecessary. Wic Reset Connect allows a safe Epson ET-4700 waste counter reset in minutes.

Typical Signs

• ‘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
