Every Epson inkjet printer uses a system to collect waste ink generated during print head cleaning cycles. This excess ink is absorbed by pads at the bottom of the printer. To prevent overflow and potential damage, the printer's firmware has an internal counter that tracks the estimated amount of waste ink. When this counter reaches its programmed limit (often around 15,000 to 20,000 A4 prints), the printer will display a "Service Required" error message on your computer and the ink and paper indicator lights on the printer's control panel will blink alternately. At this point, the printer will refuse to print.
