The Epson XP-720 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 XP-720 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-720 Ink Pad Counter Warning?

Most Epson XP-720 waste ink counter locks are solved by a software counter reset. Wic Reset Connect provides a straightforward procedure.

Typical Signs

• 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
