“End of service life” messages
If your Epson says parts inside the printer are at the end of their service life, the internal ink pads are full. Epson and authorized service centers handle this. It’s a hardware matter, not a setup problem.
Ink tank filling
On EcoTank models, fill each tank with its matching color bottle and keep ink above the lower line. After first fill, the printer charges ink for several minutes — don’t turn it off during that time.
