usable life. The Epson Status Monitor, your LCD screen, or lights
on the control panel will advise you when these parts need
replacing. If this happens during the standard

of the pads is covered under the standard warranty. If the product
is out of warranty, the pads can be replaced by any Epson
authorized service provider. The waste ink pads are not a
user-replaceable part.
