You can update your delivery address in your account section in the subscription portal to ensure we always send the ink to the right address.

Payments

What payment methods are accepted?

You can pay using:

Direct Debit
Visa
Mastercard
Maestro
American Express

When does the billing cycle begin? How often am I billed?

The billing cycle starts on the day you complete your registration and runs automatically monthly. You will be billed at the start of each billing cycle. If you move to a higher usage plan within a billing cycle you can opt to start your new plan immediately at the new amount.

You can check the pages that remain in your account on the 'Plan' section.

If you choose to set up your plan via Direct Debit, your Direct Debit will be taken on the date you start your subscription.

If you print more pages than your chosen plan, it will use up pages rolled over from the past two months. Extra pages will only be charged for when both the pages included within the plan and any rolled over pages have been used. Any extra pages will be billed at the end of the month together with the invoice for the next billing cycle.

What happens if my payment fails?

ReadyPrint Flex
If your payment fails, we will send you an email requesting you update your payment details. Once your payment details are updated, we will attempt to charge your payment method.

If your payment details are not updated, the ReadyPrint cartridges will stop working until new payment details are provided and are successful. The ReadyPrint cartridges will work again as soon as the payment details have been updated and any outstanding invoice has been paid.

Please be aware that we will automatically cancel your subscription if your payment method is not updated within the timeline indicated in the email.

ReadyPrint EcoTank
If your payment fails, we will send you an email requesting you update your payment details. Once your payment details are updated, we will attempt to charge your payment method.

Please note that if your payments do not resume, Epson will require you to return the EcoTank printer in accordance with the terms and conditions.

Please be aware that we will automatically cancel your subscription if your payment method is not updated within the timeline indicated in the email.

Payment details can be updated via the payment method section within the 'Account' page.

Where can I see my monthly invoices?

You can view and download copies of your monthly invoices in your ReadyPrint dashboard under Account page > Billing tab in the susbcription portal. Follow this link to access your invoices.

Managing my Subcription

How do I keep track of how many pages I've printed?

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.

What happens if I print LESS pages than my monthly allowance? Can I rollover pages?

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.

You can view your print usage and manage your monthly plan options via your 'Plans Page' in the susbcription portal.

What happens if I print MORE pages than my monthly allowance?

ReadyPrint is designed to suit your print needs as they change. You can pay for each additional page printed in any month, you don't have to do anything - they'll just be added to your next bill. You can view your print usage and the cost of any extra pages at any time via your 'Account Page'

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.

Can I change my plan? Is my plan change or cancellation effective immediately?

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.

What counts as a page in my allowance? How are A3 pages counted in my ReadyPrint plan?

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.

Why do I need to keep my printer connected to the internet for ReadyPrint?

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.

Instructions on how to connect to the internet can be found in our product support section.

If I register more than one printer, can I share my pages between plans?

No, the allowance is specific to the individual printer and cannot be shared with other printers.

Can I use the ReadyPrint Flex ink cartridges in any other printer?

No, the ReadyPrint ink cartridges will only work with the printer that is registered to your ReadyPrint Flex plan.

Can I use non-ReadyPrint Flex cartridges in my printer?

Yes, but please note: You must install a complete set of non-ReadyPrint ink cartridges, to ensure that printed pages are not counted from your plan allowance.

You must remove ALL ReadyPrint individual cartridges from your printer to prevent pages being counted from your allowance, otherwise you will still be charged.

Can I still use my subscription ink if I cancel my ReadyPrint plan?

ReadyPrint Flex
The ReadyPrint subscription inks will not work once your plan is cancelled and the final billing cycle is complete. You will need to install a complete set of non-ReadyPrint ink cartridges to continue printing.

ReadyPrint EcoTank
The ReadyPrint EcoTank printer will not work after the service has been cancelled and the final billing cycle is complete. To avoid additional charges, the ReadyPrint EcoTank printer will have to be returned in accordance with the terms and conditions.

How do I cancel a plan?

To cancel a plan, you will need to go to the plan summary page. Please note that any outstanding invoices (including any over-printing charges) will need to be paid at the point you wish to cancel. You will be able to use the remainder of your billing cycle allowance up until the end of your plan date.

Service & Support

If you have the EcoTank ET-M1170U, please open the paper cassette to find the serial number.

Why is the account usage information on my printer different to the ReadyPrint subscription portal?

If your printer remains connected to the internet, your usage information is updated at least once a day. If your printer is off, your print usage will update once you reconnect to the internet.

Please check that your printer is connected to the internet and switch the printer off and on again to trigger an additional live update.

What is firmware and how do I keep my firmware up to date?

Firmware is what makes the printer function. It is a code that tells the printer what to do and how to do it. Occasionally we send out updates designed to keep your printer working as efficiently as possible.

To make sure that the ReadyPrint service performs at its best you need to follow these steps to install the latest firmware.

- Turn on your Epson printer and ensure it is connected to a computer with Internet access

- The Epson Software Updater will check if any additional software or firmware updates are available. If new firmware is available, it will be shown in the Essential Product Updates window

- Install the new firmware and follow the on-screen instructions (the update can take up to 15 minutes to complete)

- The update may trigger alert messages from your antivirus/firewall software. Click “Unblock” or “Allow” to let the - update continue

- Be aware that you won’t be able to print as the firmware is updated and that all queued print jobs will be cancelled

- Do not turn the printer off, unless you are instructed to do so during the update process

For more information and additional support, check the printer’s instruction information or visit epson.eu/readyprint

What is a maintenance box?

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.

How do I replace the maintenance box?

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.

How do I return a ReadyPrint EcoTank printer?

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.

What information is sent to Epson from my printer?

When you register for the ReadyPrint service, information regarding your ink levels and the number of pages printed will be sent to Epson. This ensures that ink can be delivered when you need it.

Will my printer work with cartridges purchased outside of ReadyPrint?

Yes, your printer can use Epson cartridges purchased outside of your plan. Pages printed using cartridges purchased separately will not be counted in your allowance. Whether you are printing in colour or black, make sure that you remove ALL ReadyPrint individual ink cartridges from the printer to prevent any pages being counted from your allowance.

Important - using a cartridge bought separately will not cancel your plan.
