Epson EcoTank ET-2500 and ET-2550 printers are popular choices due to their continuous ink supply system, which helps save on printing costs. However, like other inkjet printers, after a period of use, they may encounter some common errors, especially the “Service Required” or “Ink Pad is at the end of its service life” error. This is when you need the Epson ET-2500 ET-2550 Adjustment Program.
Why Does My Epson ET-2500 ET-2550 Show “Service Required”?
This error appears when the printer’s Waste Ink Pad Counter reaches its predefined limit. Waste ink is generated during print head cleaning cycles or other maintenance routines. The internal waste ink pads absorb this ink. When the counter indicates full, the printer stops operating to prevent ink overflow, which could cause serious damage.
