you probably need to replace an ink cartridge.

red lights flash alternate on epson r230
Although I do not have access to the R230 service manual, I do have one
for the R200, and it is likely using the same error codes. This error code indicates your waste ink pads are "full". I place this in quotes because chances are they aren't full, but the amount of ink Epson considers equal to full ink pads has gone down the waste ink tubes from cleanings and purging cycles. Typically, this is less than half the amount the pads can take before leaking. To deal with this matter, you can reset the waste ink pad numbers, you can take the printer to repair and have the pads replaced and have them reset it, you can open the printer and move the waste ink hose to outside the printer and into a bottle (and reset it). To reset it, you can either go to the following website and using their software try to reset it (the software doesn't support all Epson prinetrs, so check to see if yours is included. http://www.ssclg.com/epsone.shtml Or you can, if you have a North American model, go to the following Epson website where they will supply you with the software to reset it. http://www.epson.com/cgi-bin/Store/s...nkPadsForm.jsp Art If you are interested in issues surrounding e-waste, I invite you to enter the discussion at my blog: http://e-trashtalk.spaces.live.com/ Steve Dell wrote: you probably need to replace an ink cartridge.
