Error:
A printer's ink pad is at the end of its service life.
Solution :
- Replace the ink pad.
- Reset the waste ink pad counter.
Every time the printer is turned on and will start printing, the pump will suck ink from the print head to make sure the printer is ready to be used for printing. This process produces waste ink that is drained and collected in the waste ink pad. Until one day, this waste ink pad is full and reaches its maximum capacity. When the waste ink pad is full, the Power button light turns yellow, and the Resume button light turns orange, alternating. When checking printer status: A printer's ink pad is at the end of its service life. Please contact Epson Support. When the printer is turned on, and the Power and Resume button lights alternate yellow and orange, the printer cannot be used and must be repaired immediately. Repair is carried out in two stages: 1. Replace the ink pad. 2. Reset the waste ink pad counter. 1. Replace the ink pad 
Because the ink pad is at the end of its service life, there are 3 alternative solutions that can be done, to solve this error. #1. Take off the ink pad and replace it with a new one - Open the screw behind the printer. - To remove the ink pad, slide it sideways then pull down on the ink pad. - Replace the ink pad with a new one - Put the ink pad back into the printer. # 2.

Q: If the ink pad is not replaced or cleaned, and the printer is only reset, will the printer return to normal?
A: Since the waste ink counter has been reset, the printer will return to normal. However, in the near future there will be a new problem, namely the waste ink container will overflow, because it cannot accommodate the waste ink anymore. To prevent unwanted new problems, repair begins with replacing the ink pad or cleaning the ink pad. After the ink pad has been replaced or cleaned, the next step is to reset the waste ink pad counter.
