Epson XP-2101 and XP-2105 printers often experience the issue of indicator lights flashing simultaneously or not responding to print commands. This condition is usually caused by waste ink counters that have reached the maximum limit.
This problem is an automatic protection mechanism from Epson to prevent waste ink from overflowing outside the waste ink pad.
Common Symptoms of a Full Waste Ink Counter
- All printer lights flash at the same time.
- The printer stops printing and does not respond to commands.
- A warning message “Service Required” appears on the computer screen.
The most effective way to solve this problem is to use the Adjustment Program Epson XP-2101/XP-2105.
This software functions to reset the value of the waste ink counter to the initial position so that the printer can return to normal function without replacing physical components.
By performing a reset using the Adjustment Program, the printer will again detect the ink pads as if they were new, and you can resume printing as usual.
