What is the waste ink pad system in the Epson EcoTank L380?

Inside the Epson EcoTank L380, there is an internal waste ink absorption system designed to collect excess ink generated during normal printer operation.

During printhead cleaning cycles and printer initialization, unused ink is directed into these absorption pads.

Over time, continuous printing and automatic maintenance routines cause ink residue to accumulate inside the system.

Once the internal calculation reaches its maximum limit, the Epson EcoTank L380 automatically locks to prevent ink leakage and potential internal damage.

To fully resolve this condition, Epson recommends two actions:

• Clean or replace the waste ink pads, or install an external ink drainage system.
• Perform the Reset Epson EcoTank L380 to clear the internal counter and unlock the printer.
