What Is the Ink Pad in Epson ET Series Printers?
Inside every Epson ET Series printer there is a waste ink collection system known as the ink pad.
Whenever the printer is powered on, it performs an automatic initialization and cleaning process. During this process, excess ink is expelled from the printhead and directed into the ink pad.
The same process occurs during routine printhead cleanings and printing cycles, causing additional ink to accumulate in the pad over time.
Once the ink pad reaches its maximum absorption capacity, the printer automatically locks to prevent ink leakage that could damage internal electronic components.
At this stage, two actions are required:
You may physically replace the ink pad or install an external waste ink drainage system (dispenser). After performing either option, it is mandatory to reset the internal ink pad counter using the appropriate Epson ET Series reset software. Once the counter is reset, the printer will operate normally again.
