Epson EP-902F Reset: Clear the Waste Ink Pad Error
Restore printing on the Epson EP-902F when the waste ink pad counter reaches its limit. Download Wic Reset Connect free, use one official activation key and complete the guided reset through a direct USB connection. The software procedure normally takes about two minutes and can be completed without specialist equipment.
Check the printer, enter the key and reset
Prepare a Windows 7-11 computer, one working USB data cable and a Wic Reset Connect activation key.
Reset the internal ink pad counter and restore printing
During head cleaning, the Epson EP-902F sends a small amount of ink to its internal waste ink system and records the estimated use electronically. When the stored value reaches the permitted limit, printing may stop even when the printer has no paper jam. Wic Reset Connect clears the supported counter after one valid activation key is entered. The reset application is free to download, while the key is needed for one final reset on one printer.
Purchase the key and download the software from the official Wic Reset Connect producer.
A documented recovery route is available when an eligible attempt is interrupted by a correctable connection problem.
The unused key has no expiry date and can be saved until the printer is correctly connected.
The activation key is normally delivered by email automatically, usually within about one minute.
Reset the EP-902F waste ink counter in three clear stages
Before entering the activation key, read the counter with WIC Reset Utility. This simple check confirms that Windows detects the correct model and that communication is stable enough for the reset.
Get the official reset key
Buy one Wic Reset Connect activation key for the Epson EP-902F. A single key is intended for one complete counter reset on one supported printer.
Download the free tools
Download WIC Reset Utility and Wic Reset Connect free. Connect the switched-on EP-902F directly to the computer and read the current waste ink value.
Clear the stored counter
Select the detected EP-902F in Wic Reset Connect, paste the purchased key and run the reset. After success, switch the printer off for about 10 seconds and turn it on again.
The guided reset normally takes about two minutes. Follow the official video step by step. Support is available 24 hours a day when a USB cable, driver or Windows process prevents the counter from being read.
Get the EP-902F keyCheck that the problem is really the ink pad counter
Use this procedure when the printer reports a waste ink pad, ink pad service life or Service Required message. It does not repair separate cartridge, scanner, carriage or paper-feed faults.
The Epson EP-902F saves an estimated waste ink value internally. Cleaning or replacing the absorber does not automatically erase this electronic value.
The absorber handles real ink, while the counter records estimated use. When the limit is reached, software is still needed to clear the stored value after any necessary physical service.
If the counter reads 0% but another warning remains, the waste ink reset succeeded and a different printer fault must be checked separately.
Do not continue printing if ink is leaking. The software changes the counter only and cannot repair a saturated absorber, disconnected tube or damaged internal part.
Epson EP-902F waste ink pad reset: complete guide
Leave only one supported printer connected. Plug the Epson EP-902F directly into a motherboard USB port and do not use a hub, splitter or docking station during the service procedure.
Prepare a stable USB connection
Switch on the EP-902F, remove all pending jobs from the Windows print queue and connect a working USB data cable directly to the computer. Install the original Epson driver when detection is incomplete.
Check communication before using the key
Open WIC Reset Utility, choose the EP-902F and read the waste ink counter. Do not continue until the model remains visible and the program returns a counter value.
Open the official reset application
Launch the latest Wic Reset Connect download and select the detected Epson EP-902F. The key field must stay visible; if it disappears, reconnect the printer before entering the key.
Enter the key and start the reset
Copy the activation key exactly from the email and paste it into Wic Reset Connect. Keep the printer powered on and leave the USB cable connected until the program reports completion.
Restart the printer for 10 seconds
After the success message, turn the EP-902F off with its power button. Wait around 10 seconds before switching it on again so the new counter state is loaded.
Confirm the final 0% value
Read the waste ink counter once more in WIC Reset Utility. A cleared value confirms that the Epson EP-902F ink pad counter reset finished correctly.
Choose your language and follow every reset step
The official guide shows how to connect the Epson EP-902F, check communication, read the counter, enter the activation key and verify the result. Ten language versions are currently available, and further languages are added regularly when customers request them.
Read the counter with Utility. Perform the reset with Connect.
Both downloads are free, but they perform different tasks. WIC Reset Utility checks the printer and reads the counter; the purchased activation key must be used only in Wic Reset Connect for the final reset.

Download Wic Reset ConnectOfficial EP-902F reset with support and guarantee
WicReset.info develops and sells Wic Reset Connect. The Epson EP-902F procedure is designed for normal users, and assistance is available 24 hours a day when detection, the original driver, a USB port or an Epson background process interrupts communication.
The reset guarantee includes a documented recovery path for eligible interrupted attempts after the connection problem has been fixed. Follow the official manual and request a replacement key only through the provided procedure.
Make sure the printer stays detected before activation
The activation key should be used only after a successful counter reading. If the printer disappears, first test the cable, a direct motherboard USB port, the original Epson driver, the print queue and running Epson processes.
The activation-key box disappears
The computer has lost communication with the Epson EP-902F. Close the program, reconnect the cable to another direct motherboard USB port and wait for Windows to detect the printer. Test another USB data cable or another Windows computer if the field still disappears.
WIC Reset Utility cannot read the EP-902F counter
Make sure the printer is powered on, selected and connected without a hub. Clear the print queue, install the original Epson driver and close Epson Status Monitor. In WIC Reset Utility, open Support, choose Disable processes and select Terminate all.
The printer is connected only through Wi-Fi
Connect the EP-902F directly with a USB data cable for the reset. Wi-Fi can be used for normal printing, but it is not suitable for the protected service counter write.
The reset stopped after the key was used
First correct the communication problem. Then follow the official replacement-key procedure and repeat the reset with one printer connected through a stable direct USB port.
The waste ink value is 0% but the printer still shows an error
The counter reset succeeded, so another fault may remain. Switch the EP-902F off for about 10 seconds, restart it and check cartridges, paper feed, carriage movement and indicator lights.
Waste ink is visible under or inside the printer
Stop using the printer and service the physical absorber, tubes or other affected parts. Reset software changes the stored counter but cannot stop a physical ink leak.
Confirm that the Epson EP-902F counter has been cleared
When Wic Reset Connect reports success, turn the Epson EP-902F off for approximately 10 seconds and restart it. Open WIC Reset Utility and read the value again. A 0% or cleared counter confirms completion.
Do not disconnect the USB cable until the final reading is complete. After the value is verified and the printer starts normally, it can return to its everyday connection.
