Re: 1280 Flashing Lights

Yep, this is the full waste pad sign, alternate blinking.  If you 
haven't reset before you should be OK for one more run before 
changing the pads.  There is a detailed reset workflow listed on the 
Epson users group, search for 'blinking lights' and you should find 
it straight away, I just reset mine last week.

Kind regards

Steve.
