You can see how many pages you've printed by logging into your account.

Please note that the printer must be connected to the internet to display the most up-to-date page count.

Yes, you can roll over any unused pages within your monthly printing allowance. Unprinted pages will roll over for two months. ReadyPrint is designed to suit your print usage, you have the freedom to increase or decrease your plan to match your needs.

Alternatively, you have the option to move between plans. For example, you can move to a higher plan immediately, for a month of heavy printing and then go back to a lower plan the following month. Note that there will be additional costs for upgrading within a billing cycle.

We want your ReadyPrint plan to be as flexible as your printing needs. You can upgrade to a higher plan at any time and this change can be effective immediately (subject to immediate upgrade fees). Or alternatively upgrade at start of the next billing cycle.

Downgrade whenever you want, and your new plan will be effective from the next billing cycle. Changes to a lower plan and cancellation are effective the first day of the next billing cycle.

Every side of a page that the printer completes printing counts as a page in your allowance. It doesn't matter if you print documents or photos, and they can be in black or colour. A page printed on both sides will count as two pages. The page count is not impacted by how much or how little ink is used on a page. Note that system pages (e.g. printer status, nozzle check) do not count. (Please be aware that if you choose to print the 'Epson Connect Confirmation' page, it will be treated as a standard page and will be counted as part of your allowance.)

If your printer can print in A3, and you print A3 pages, this counts as 2 pages (A3 is twice as big as A4), and if you print on both sides of A4 paper, this counts as 2 pages. For example, if you sign up to a ReadyPrint Flex '100 pages' plan and you print 50 pages of A3 in a month, you would have used all your monthly allowance.

Please ensure your printer is regularly connected to the internet at least once in any 24 hour period to enable you to continue printing with the subscription service. This means we can monitor your printer's status so that you will enjoy the best possible service from your ReadyPrint plan.

EcoTank printers have a maintenance box and a replacement is included in your subscription. During some printing and print head cleaning cycles, a small amount of surplus ink is collected in the EcoTank’s maintenance box. To prevent ink leakage from the maintenance box, the printer is designed to stop printing when the box is full. You will receive a notification when your maintenance box is full.

Please note that for WorkForce/WorkForce Pro printers, replacement maintenance boxes are not included as part of your subscription and need to be purchased separately from the Epson website. Depending on your printer model, you may need to contact our service center for support.

Please note this is only required in a certain type of EcoTank printer. We will send you an email to explain that the maintenance box is being shipped if this affects you. You can find out more and get detailed guidance in this article.

You can return the EcoTank printer in its original packaging or request a purpose-built shipping box. Note that you could be charged if the printer is returned in poor condition. Full information on charges can be found in the ReadyPrint EcoTank terms and conditions.
