Do not assumeRefilling the ink tanks does not address the ink-pad service counter/condition.

Safe sequence

Work through the manufacturer-scoped path

  1. 01

    Record W-11 and continue only as Epson permits.

  2. 02

    Avoid unnecessary cleaning cycles that consume ink into the maintenance system.

  3. 03

    Arrange the documented Epson service path.

  4. 04

    Keep a print-quality reference only if the printer still allows normal printing.

Stop / escalate

When not to keep experimenting

Use Epson support when the maintenance message reaches the replacement/service state.
