How to use the software Installing and opening the software ( SSC Service Utility ): This means that, all you really need to save your printer is the resetting software. I had an Epson C86 printer reset under warranty by an Epson dealer and the ink pad was not replaced. The reason for having to do this according to Epson, is that your Ink Pad is full and needs replacing. You can unlock it, reset the overflow and reset the protection counter, bringing your printer back to life. Each model also has a set amount of prints allowed on the Overflow, after which your printer will stop working and lock you out completely, usually with two alternating flashing lights on the printer.
These messages will continue unless you reset the ‘Protection Counter’, this period is called the ‘Overflow’.
Modern Epson printers have built in software / firmware that counts the prints that you do and each model has a set limit that will generate messages, saying something like “your printer requires maintenance”.
