A printer’s ink pad is at the end of its service life. Please contact Epson Support.

A printer’s ink pad, also known as an ink absorber or ink waste pad, is a component inside inkjet printers that collects and absorbs excess ink during printing. This ink might come from cleaning cycles, print head maintenance, or ink spills. Over time, the pad becomes saturated with ink, so printers often have a service life indicator for this component.

A part inside your printer is at the end of its service life. Service is required.

When a part inside your printer reaches the end of its service life, it usually means that a component needs replacement or maintenance. Common parts that might require attention include the ink pad, which absorbs excess ink; the drum unit in laser printers, which degrades over time; the toner cartridge, which eventually runs out of toner; and the fuser assembly, which can wear out with use. Additionally, some printers have maintenance kits with parts like rollers that need to be replaced periodically. Check your printer’s manual or manufacturer’s instructions for guidance on how to address these warnings.

A printer’s ink pad is nearing the end of its service life.

When a printer’s ink pad is nearing the end of its service life, it means the ink absorber pad, which collects excess ink during printing and maintenance cycles, is approaching its maximum capacity. This pad helps prevent ink from leaking inside the printer and can become saturated over time. When it reaches the end of its service life, it needs to be replaced to avoid potential printing issues or damage. Most printers will display a warning message when the ink pad is nearing the end of its life, prompting you to take action.

A printer’s ink pad is nearing the end of service life.

When a printer’s ink pad is nearing the end of its service life, it means that the ink absorber pad, which collects and holds excess ink from print head cleaning and maintenance cycles, is almost full. This pad helps prevent ink from leaking inside the printer and ensures proper functioning. As it becomes saturated, it needs to be replaced to avoid potential ink overflow, printing issues, or damage to the printer. The printer will usually give a warning message indicating that the ink pad needs attention, signaling that it’s time for maintenance or replacement.
