Diagnóstico rápido

The E-10 error is not a mechanical failure, but a software counter warning. If the device won't print and the message indicates 'Ink pad service required', the lock is for safety.

Solución paso a paso

  1. Identify the counter that reached the limit via the Epson Status Monitor software.
  2. Contact a technician to physically replace the saturated ink pads.
  3. Use the service tool to clear the internal counter and allow continued use.

Prevención y mantenimiento

Avoid performing excessive 'Head cleaning' cycles, as each cycle wastes ink that goes directly into the pads, accelerating this error.
