its a tweak with epson.... they have a counter there that intentionally stops it from working even through your printer is still in good condition.

there is an available driver that could correct that depending on the operating system you are using. i think if i maybe correct it only works with and o/s that is winxp.

the drivers name is inkpad reset utilty.

try to check the website www.epson.com/ipr for the inkpad reset utility

download .epson reset for printer,google will reset counters

You need to reset waste ink counter. Use SSC Utility or R220/R230 Adjusment program. Find the software at indoreset.blogspot.com.

Are you sure it is staurated or it just the printer showing the error. Apparently there is a usage timer in the printer firmware that will display this error after so many hours of usage. Epson has a small program to reset this error but warns that if the pad is saturated it may leak out onto you table/desk. My R220 displayed this error and I reset it with Epsons resetter program. If you are not sure of the pad, I would put something under the printer just in case it is saturated and leaks. I don't think you can buy replacement pads from Epson as they say the printer is disposable. I also don't know what material the pads are made of but I have never seen one overflo in all the years I have used Epson printers. There is always a first time so if I were resetting mine I would defininately put something under the printer to watch for leaking ink. The program to reset the ink counter is EpsonIPRUtility.A10.exe and is available at www.Epson.com
