The S-2101 (also referred to as SC23MB, or part number C13S210125) is a maintenance box / waste ink tank.
Purpose: It collects excess ink that is flushed out during printer maintenance cycles (like head cleaning) or purging, preventing that ink from leaking inside the printer.
It has a smart chip: The maintenance box comes with a chip (or “maintenance box chip”) so that the printer can detect the ink-absorption level / waste-ink status.
The absorbent material inside is typically a high-absorbency sponge / fiber cotton that soaks up the waste ink.
When the sponge is saturated (i.e., has absorbed its maximum capacity), the printer will detect “maintenance box full” (or equivalent) and prompt a replacement.
Once installed, this maintenance box is designed for one-time use: as per the printer manual, you should not reuse a removed maintenance box after a long time because the ink inside may have solidified or the absorption capacity reduced.
Handling precautions (from Epson’s user manual):
Don’t touch the green chip on the maintenance box — it may affect detection.
Avoid strong shocks / dropping the box.
Don’t replace the maintenance box while printing (to avoid ink leaks).
When disposing of a used box, seal it (to avoid ink leakage) before throwing away.
Storage: avoid very high or freezing temperatures.

High-Yield Tracking
Since it’s used in a high-capacity cartridge (152X / W1520X), it supports a much higher page count. For example, some compatible cartridges with this chip claim ~9,700-page yield.
According to some chip-makers, the capacity of the 152X version is listed as 9.7K (“Capacity: … W1520X 9.7K”).
Toner Level / Usage Monitoring
The chip stores and updates information about how much toner is left. This allows the printer to warn when toner is low or “empty.”
It also keeps track of how many pages have been printed using that cartridge.
Authentication or Recognition
Helps the printer verify that it is using a compatible or valid cartridge. This is important for printers that enforce some level of DPS / security on consumables.
Resettable (in Compatible / Refill Use Cases)
In many third-party / refill-friendly chips, once the cartridge is used (or refilled), this chip can be replaced or reset so that the printer sees it as a “new” full-yield cartridge.
This makes refilling / remanufacturing more economical.
Plug-and-Play
The chip is “single-use” in the sense that you just place it on the cartridge and insert into the printer — no special tool or software needed.
It communicates with the printer via standard contacts inside the cartridge slot.
Reliability
According to suppliers, the defect rate is quite low (e.g., < 0.3% in one chip manufacturer’s spec).
Because it’s for a high-volume cartridge, it’s designed to reliably operate over many more page cycles compared to standard-yield cartridge chips.

Plug & Play Installation
Easy to install — generally just slots into the cartridge. No special tools or software required.
Once installed, the printer will immediately read the chip on inserting the cartridge.
Reliability
Compatible / replacement chips are built for stable performance, matching OEM behavior.
