What is the waste ink pad inside the Epson EcoTank L475?

The Epson EcoTank L475 contains an internal waste ink absorption system, commonly referred to as the waste ink pads.

During automatic printhead cleaning cycles and printer initialization, excess ink is directed into these pads.

Over time, normal printing operations and maintenance routines cause ink residue to accumulate inside the absorption system.

When the calculated ink absorption limit is reached, the Epson EcoTank L475 automatically locks to prevent ink leakage and internal damage.

To fully resolve this condition, two actions are recommended:

• Clean or replace the waste ink pads, or install an external ink drainage system.
• Perform the Reset Epson EcoTank L475 to clear the internal waste ink counter and unlock the printer.
