Epson L4160 – Reset & Clear “Service Required” / Error E11
If your Epson L4160 shows Fout E11 of Service vereist, it’s due to the internal waste ink counter being full. Use WicReset aansluiten to reset it. Works via USB on Windows. Reset keys start from 6 EUR.
Symptoms for Epson L4160 waste ink error
- Printer refuses to print; lights flashing or blinking.
- Foutbericht: Service vereist of Fout E11.
- Waste ink counter near or at its threshold (100 %).
Why does L4160 show “Service Required”?
The error is triggered when Epson’s internal waste ink counter reaches its programmed limit — it’s a software lock, not necessarily a sign that the pads are physically saturated. Resetting clears that counter and restores functionality.
