Solutions

Diagnóstico rápido

This code locks the printer to prevent potential damage. Unlike communication errors, this is a physical constraint based on an internal counter tracking how much ink is purged into the absorbing pads.

Solución paso a paso

  1. Stop using the printer immediately to avoid leaks.
  2. Run the Epson utility tool to verify the ink pad status.
  3. Take the printer to an authorized center for a physical pad replacement.
  4. Get the internal counter reset by the professional performing the service.

Prevención y mantenimiento

Avoid excessive 'head cleaning' cycles, as each one dumps ink into the waste reservoir. Consistent printing at regular intervals keeps the head clean without needing frequent system purges.

This is a hardware-based limitation and must be handled by a certified service professional who has access to the official reset tools.
