Epson's "Waste Ink Pad Error " Solved






So after years of struggling with HP cartridge printer we finally settled for Epson SX135 hoping it was going to save me the headache of buying cartridges or refilling them. On the surface, Continuous Ink Supply System (CISS) technology was the better choice solution.

But the underlying problem that was common with almost all it's series was the WIC(Waste Ink-pad Counter )error. Actually this is a situation when the printer has reached a condition where the waste ink pad are full. Epson Printers track on how much ink it has dumped absorbent pads in the printer's base. Thus, it shows a error prompt message to user "Parts Inside your Printer Has Reached The End Of Its Service Life "or "waste ink pad is full" once full....I won't go into details on this lets I digress from the main topic which is giving a solution .

Barely 4 months later, after having enjoyed its services, it developed a problem a kill-switch that almost rendered us to halt. It couldn't print, scan nor photocopy. All it displayed was a sort of a green and red light, which after referring to the user manual, meant it had a problem with the waste ink pad ugh!

We opened it up and located the waste ink pad, squeezed it and ran cold clean water through it, placed it back hoping that was an easy fix! That disturbing error indicator was still showing.grr!

We didn't give up,and decided to find out online. And it was clear that Epson being a big company with its products being up taken all across the world, it was engaging in unfair games, unhealthy marketing strategies. Some users with the same problem claimed that they would add extra encryption to "encourage" you to buy a new
printer. This was a clear rip off. On their forums they suggested to users facing the same predicament to take back their printers for replacement incase they still had genuine warranties. But still there was a lot of dangers and misgivings in this; paying the shipping/ transporting fees with no surety of a refund!

We were never going to give up but now it was all clear that this issue needed a software reset not the hardware reset as we had at first anticipated.

My friend and I went through several suggested solutions but non seemed to work. We tried from SSC utility tool plus many other utilities but either they would require a purchase of a full version which we eschewed due to scepticism while some failed totally.

We looked out for more from across the suggested work-arounds and finally had to come across this utility that would fix the WIC errors for both Epson SX135 and TX 125.
