Printers have become an essential part of our daily routine, and we use them for various purposes. However, they need care and maintenance to keep them working efficiently. One of the common issues faced by printer users is the indication of an ink pad that has reached the end of its service life. Epson L382 is one such printer that has been facing the same issue. In this article, we are going to discuss the causes of this problem and how it can be resolved.
What is the Ink Pad and Why Does it Need Replacement?
The ink pad is an absorbent sponge that collects the surplus ink during printing. Over time, this sponge becomes saturated, and it needs to be replaced. If it is not replaced, it can lead to several issues like ink leakage and printer malfunctioning.
Signs That Your Ink Pad Needs Replacement
Your printer will display an error message saying, "A printer's ink pad is at the end of its service life" when it reaches its limit. Some of the other signs that may indicate that your ink pad needs replacement are:
The printer's LED lights start flashing
The printer stops printing, and a red light starts flashing
The printer shows an error message saying, "Please contact Epson support."
