If your Epson L3237 displays “Service required” or Error E11, you can solve it by resetting the waste ink counter with WicReset Connect. Works on Windows 7–11 via USB. Reset keys available from 6 EUR.

Typical symptoms of Error E11

  • L3237 refuses to print; lights blinking continuously.
  • Message on screen: Service required / Ink pad at end of service life.
  • Waste ink counter shows close to 100 % usage.

Why does Epson L3237 show “Service required”?

This error is triggered when Epson’s internal waste ink counter reaches its limit. It’s a software lock – not always actual pad saturation. Resetting restores printing.
