Symptoms

  • Printer won’t print; LEDs blinking.
  • Error message: Error E11 or Service required.

Why does Epson L3233 show “Service required”?

The message appears due to Epson’s internal waste ink counter. When it hits its threshold, printing is blocked until reset. Resetting with WicReset Connect clears that counter. It does not always reflect actual pad saturation.
