Hi Anna,

After doing some searching, this was the best I could come up with:

Turn off printer

Press and hold 'stop' 'maintenance' and 'power' buttons for about 10 seconds. A message will appear on the screen. power off and back on for reset

Allegedly, this is a pre-set maintenance routine epson implements as a service reminder...though I could not confirm this one way or another. I hope this works for you, as the epson website seemed to be utterly useless in finding a suitable resolution.

Good Luck,
Jem

you need to reset your printer try doing this

• Press and hold “Stop”, “Maintenance”, and “Power” buttons for about 10 seconds. A message will come on the screen saying counter is reset and to turn the printer off. The R200 and others don’t have a screen so just wait until the 10 seconds is up.
• Turn the printer off, unplug the power cord. Wait about 1 minute and power the printer back up. The counter will be reset. That’s all there is to the reset procedure.
