The Epson L3252, like other EcoTank models, will eventually stop printing and show a "Service Required" error once the internal waste ink pads reach their limit.
First, it is crucial to understand the difference between a simple ink refill and a waste ink pad reset. The L3252 will show an “Ink Low” message when your tanks are empty—that’s solved by pouring in more ink. The waste pad error (often “Parts inside your printer are at the end of their service life” or error code 0xF1 ) is different. The printer does not actually sense the pad’s saturation; it only counts cleaning cycles. Resetting the counter without addressing physical pad overflow can lead to ink leaking inside your printer. For most home users with moderate printing, one reset is safe, but if this is the second or third time, you should physically replace or clean the pads.
