When an Epson printer displays the message "Service Required," it typically means that the printer has encountered an error or reached the end of its service life. This message can appear due to a variety of reasons such as a paper jam, low ink levels, a malfunctioning component, or a need for maintenance.
In some cases, the message may indicate that the printer's waste ink pad is full and needs to be replaced or reset. This is a common issue with Epson printers, as they have a built-in mechanism to prevent ink overflow and protect the printer's internal components. When the waste ink pad becomes full, the printer may stop functioning properly and require service.
If you encounter the "Service Required" message on your Epson printer, it is time to reset your printer.
