About the Epson L360 Printer
The Epson L360 is one of Epson’s most popular all-in-one EcoTank printers, designed for home users, students, schools, and small businesses. It offers low-cost printing, high page yields, and reliable everyday performance.
Like every Epson EcoTank printer, the L360 performs automatic maintenance to keep the print head clean. During these maintenance cycles, excess ink is collected inside the waste ink pad. Once the internal counter reaches its preset limit, the printer automatically stops printing until the counter is reset.
Why Does Epson L360 Display “Service Required”?
The Epson L360 continuously records maintenance operations inside its EEPROM memory. Activities such as print head cleaning, nozzle checks, and ink charging increase the Waste Ink Pad Counter.
When the counter reaches Epson’s safety threshold, the printer enters protection mode and displays a Service Required message. This does not always mean the physical waste ink pad is full—it simply means the maintenance counter has reached its limit.

Should You Replace the Waste Ink Pad?
Yes. Although resetting removes the software restriction, the physical waste ink pad continues collecting ink. If your Epson L360 has printed thousands of pages, cleaning or replacing the waste ink pad is recommended to prevent ink leakage and maintain reliable performance.
