The printer contains a waste ink absorption pad that collects excess ink during operations like print head cleaning and borderless printing. When the waste ink pad approaches its capacity limit, a warning message will appear. If this occurs during borderless printing, an error may be displayed.

However, it is recommended to contact Epson support for service when this warning appears to prevent potential ink overflow.
