How to Reset Epson ET-4700 Maintenance Errors

The Reset Epson EcoTank ET-4700 is required when the printer shows warnings such as “Ink Pad is at the End of its Service Life” or “A Printer Component Has Reached the End of its Life.” These alerts are generated by Epson’s internal protection system, designed to prevent excess waste ink from overflowing and to protect the internal electronic and mechanical components of the Epson EcoTank ET-4700 from serious damage.

What should you do when all lights on the Epson EcoTank ET-4700 keep flashing?

When all indicator lights on the Epson EcoTank ET-4700 begin flashing at the same time, the printer has entered a protection mode. In most cases, this condition is caused by the internal waste ink counter reaching its programmed limit. To accurately identify the problem, Epson recommends checking the error details using the official Epson Status Monitor 3 software.

1 – Send any print command to the Epson EcoTank ET-4700 and observe the message displayed by Epson Status Monitor 3 on your computer screen.

2 – If the message mentions waste ink pad, internal counter overflow, maintenance required, or end-of-service-life notification, this confirms the need to perform the Reset Epson EcoTank ET-4700.

3 – If no warning message appears, the printer drivers may not be correctly installed. Download and install the official Epson EcoTank ET-4700 drivers directly from Epson.com, restart your computer, and repeat the print test.

What Is the Ink Pad Inside the Epson EcoTank ET-4700?

Inside the Epson EcoTank ET-4700 there is an internal waste ink absorption system, commonly known as the ink pad or waste ink absorber.

Each time the printer is powered on, it performs automatic initialization and printhead cleaning routines. During these processes, excess ink is flushed into the internal ink pad.

In addition, normal printing operations periodically trigger maintenance cycles that also send residual ink into the waste ink absorber.

Once the ink pad reaches its calculated absorption limit, the Epson EcoTank ET-4700 automatically locks to prevent ink leakage that could damage internal circuits and mechanical components.

To fully resolve this issue, two steps are required:

• Clean or replace the waste ink pads, or install an external ink drainage system (dispenser).
• Perform the Reset Epson EcoTank ET-4700 to clear the internal waste ink counter responsible for the printer lock.
