If it fails a second time with no other errors. Like the above. Than the magenta may be defective. Have a recipt? Return it for a replacment.

hello there. access the printer settings from the epson software utility, and change the settings there. be sure to save your changes.

This is a common problem and can be resolved locally without actually having to send it anywhere.

If you want a bit more information on what "Service Required" actually means then this page will help with the background as well as providing the necessary link to a reset utility (via the Quickfind part).

In quick terms what you need is the SSC utility to reset the waste counter and then either get it serviced (ie: the waste pads) changed locally by a service agent in Menorca, or fit an external waste ink tank.

Plenty of resources on the web that explain how to do it either as a DIY or kits you can get that have everything you need.

Hope that helps.
