When the Epson ME-530 reaches its maintenance threshold, Epson firmware may block printing as a safeguard. In most cases, this is resolved with a counter reset.

The Epson ME-530 tracks waste ink with an internal counter. Because it is an estimate (not a physical sensor), it may trigger before the pads are actually full.

Why Does the Epson ME-530 Show ‘Service Required’?

Typical Signs

• Printer refuses to print even with ink available
