*1 In some print cycles a very small amount of surplus ink may be collected in the ink pad. To prevent ink leakage
from the pad, the printer is designed to stop printing when the pad has reached its limit. Whether and how often
this is required will vary according to the number of pages you print, the type of material that you print and the
number of cleaning cycles that the printer performs. The need for replacement of the pad does not mean that your
printer has ceased to operate in accordance with its specifications. The printer will advise you when the pad
requires replacing and this can only be performed by an authorised Epson Service provider. The Epson warranty
does not cover the cost of this replacement.
