🔑 Buy WicReset Connect key

If your Epson L3200 stops working and shows Error E11 or “Service required”, it means the waste ink counter reached its software limit. Pads are rarely full — the printer is just locked by firmware. You can fix this in a few minutes with WicReset Connect.

Typical symptoms on Epson L3200

  • Printer displays “Service required”.
  • Error E11 appears and printing is blocked.
  • Flashing red lights, no printing possible.

Why does Epson L3200 show this error?

The printer counts waste ink in an internal waste ink counter. When it hits 100%, the machine locks itself. Resetting the counter with WicReset Connect clears the error and restores normal use.

  1. Download and install WicReset Connect.
  2. Connect the L3200 to your PC with a USB cable (Wi-Fi not supported for reset).
