If you clear the software counter multiple times without swapping or cleaning the internal sponge blocks, excess liquid ink will eventually bleed out through the bottom chassis vents. This can permanently stain work desks or cause dangerous shorts in the internal hardware wiring.

This error indicates that the printer's internal counter for the waste ink pad has reached its predefined limit. While this is a safety feature to prevent ink leakage, it can often be reset using the Adjustment Program.
The deep text of the Adjustment Program carries a warning that is often ignored in the rush to restore functionality. If the physical pad is truly full, resetting the counter digitally will lead to a literal overflow. Ink will spill onto the user's desk, into the circuitry, and potentially ruin the floor. The program, therefore, is a gamble. It forces the user to assess their own risk tolerance: Do I open the printer and replace the messy pad (often a difficult, messy process with scarce spare parts)? Or do I trust that the pad has life left in it, reset the counter, and hope for the best?
