If your Epson Artisan 800 suddenly refuses to print and shows a maintenance warning, it is often caused by the waste ink (ink pad) counter threshold.

The Epson Artisan 800 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 Artisan 800 Show ‘Service Required’?

Typical Signs

• ‘Service Required’ / service life message in driver or utility
