The Epson L313 is a widely used Epson printer. Like many Epson devices, it can stop printing when the internal waste ink counter reaches its predefined limit.

The Epson L313 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.

Why Does the Epson L313 Show ‘Service Required’?

A service visit is often unnecessary. Wic Reset Connect allows a safe Epson L313 waste counter reset in minutes.

Common Symptoms

• Printer refuses to print even with ink available
• Epson Status Monitor shows maintenance warning
• Blinking lights and blocked jobs
• Device is locked until reset is performed
