Q: Error message of "Service Required Parts inside your printer are near the end of their service life see printer documentation"?
If you have been using your printer a lot on the daily basis, after few months, lets say 4 - 6 months, you may receive an error message saying "Service Required Parts inside your printer are near the end of their service life see printer documentation" and you would also notice that all the red lights keep blinking/flashing, your printer is locked too.
These are indicating that your "Waste Ink Pads" are full and need to be replaced and then the "Waste Ink Counter" must be correctly reset. Please reference your Epson printer user guide for more information.
This function is to protect your printer from overflowing, hence, normally your remedy is to replace the "Waste Ink Pad" with a new one and then reset the "Internal Waste Ink Pad Counter".
Except having this done by Epson, you can download a freeware program from http://www.ssclg.com/epsone.shtml to reset this counter by yourself.
Please note that even you reset the counter, the problem is still there since the waste ink pads would eventually overflow if you do not replace them. This may damage your printer. So they must be replaced.
To get rid of "waste ink pad" problem completely, you can install an external bottle and direct all waste ink to there. Please refer Install Waste Ink Tube/Bottle to Protect Waste Ink Pad
Epson printer has several counters, if above procedure cannot solve your problem, you may need to have your printer reset MASTER counter by Epson or contact us CustomerCare@InkRepublic.com for alternative solution.
