---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Question:
Epson printer reporting Service Required error.

Parts inside your printer are at the end of their service life.
Answer:
Many of the Epson printers ink cartridges have a sensor that allow the printer and the associated software know when to replace the printer ink cartridges (even when the cartridges have ink within them) and/or when the printer needs to be cleaned. In some cases you can bypass this message by following either of the below steps.
Use printer buttons to reset
Use the printer buttons to reset the printer by pressing and holding the "Stop", "Maintenance", and "Power" buttons all at the same time.
Other Epson models such as the RX620 require you press and hold the "Stop", "B&W", and "Power" buttons all at the same time.
Use third-party SSC service utility
