  • 2Frequent head cleaning usage.
  • 3Reached waste tank limit.

Solutions

Quick Diagnosis

The printer completely locks up, preventing any print jobs. This is a standard warning for Epson printers indicating that the internal ink pads need attention.

Step-by-step Solution

  1. Check Status: Connect the printer to a PC to confirm the pad limit message.
  2. Replacement: Replace the physical ink waste pads to prevent external ink spills.
  3. Reset Counter: Use the authorized Epson Adjustment Program to reset the ink waste counter.

Prevention and Maintenance

Only run head cleaning cycles when necessary (e.g., poor print quality), as each cleaning consumes the waste pad limit.

When to Call a Technician

If you prefer not to use third-party software, take the unit to an official service center.
