The Epson ME-570 delivers reliable printing, but periodic maintenance routines can increase the waste ink counter and eventually trigger a ‘Service Required’ lock.

A waste ink counter in the Epson ME-570 accumulates after cleaning operations. Once it reaches a limit, printing is stopped to prevent overflow.
