Epson L3070 Ink Pad Counter Reset Guide

Epson L3070 Waste Ink Counter Reset

The Epson L3070 delivers reliable printing, but periodic maintenance routines can increase the waste ink counter and eventually trigger a ‘Service Required’ lock.

During head cleaning and maintenance cycles, excess ink is routed to internal absorber pads. The Epson L3070 uses a software counter to estimate pad saturation and locks printing at a set threshold.
