Replacing the Waste Ink System

Approximately every two years (or after 12,000 B1-size prints), you must
have your authorized EPSON servicer replace the waste ink system. This is
necessary to prevent damage to the print head and maintain print quality.
Parts and labor for this service are not covered under the terms of the limited
warranty.
You can monitor the status of the waste ink system through the control
panel (see page 2-4) or through the Ink Pad number displayed on the nozzle
check print (see page 2-3).
The printer will display the following message on the control panel when the
waste ink system is almost full:
MAINTENANCE REQ. 0100
You should call to schedule service at this point. When the waste ink system
is at full capacity, the printer will stop and display the following message:
SERVICE REQ. 00000100
