How to Identify and Fix Common Problems ?
Our sources include academic articles, blog posts, and personal essays from experienced technical support :
The product is busy. Wait for the power light to stop flashing before turning off the product. If you just replaced an ink cartridge and the power light is still flashing after 3 minutes, the cartridge may be installed incorrectly. Reinstall the ink cartridge.
When the red H ink light flashes, one or more ink cartridges are low on ink. When the red H ink light stays on, you need to replace the cartridge(s). When you print, you`ll also see a message on your screen telling you which cartridge is low or empty.
When the ink cartridge of the Epson printer is low or empty. Most probably there is jammed paper inside the printer. There may be no papers in the paper tray. Having no connection could also lead to Printer Blinking Lights Error.
Find the button marked Pause/Reset on the row of buttons on the control panel. Press and hold the button down for at least three seconds to clear the print job and reset your printer so you can start printing again. Try printing again. Repeat the process one time if you still experience printer errors.
The Power light blinks at a steady interval when the printer is processing a print job. If the Power light blinks fast, the ink cartridge door might be open, or the printer might be in an error state. If an error message displays on the computer screen, follow the on-screen messages to resolve the issue.
The blinking power light indicates that the unit has a cartridge problem. There could be several reasons for this: 1. Incorrect, defective or swapped cartridges.
If the light is blinking red rapidly, there is a problem with the lamp. If the light is blinking red slowly, there is a problem with the projector. If the light is red and not blinking, the projector is overheating, which turns the projection lamp off automatically.
Answer: If the paper and ink lights are blinking simultaneously, it means the problem is in its Ink cartridge assembly.
If you still see white or dark lines or missing colors in your printouts, even after cleaning the print head several times, you can perform a Power Ink Flushing. Note: After a Power Ink Flushing, you must turn off the product and wait at least 12 hours before printing again.
An ink cartridge is low. Make sure you have a replacement cartridge.
Press the power button to turn off your product. Press and hold the network status button and press the power button to turn your product back on. The network settings are restored to their factory defaults and your product turns on.
Epson Printer Errors
If your printer is displaying an error code or message on the control panel, search for `Error code` on your product`s FAQs tab.
Eight flashes:Ink absorber is almost full
The ink absorber is almost full. Press the printer`s RESUME/CANCEL button to continue printing. Contact the service center.
The ink is running low. Prepare a new ink cartridge.
🛑 That error indicates that the print-cartridge door is open or other errors exist. Did anything happen prior to the flashing light? ( paper jam, changed a toner) ✔️Check for a paper jam.
Remove the power cord and contact EPSON for help. The projector is overheating, which turns the lamp off automatically. Wait until the cooling fan stops, then unplug the power cord. Plug the power cord back in and press the Power button.
The orange !
If the printer`s orange exclamation light is lit, it usually means there is a paper jam or the cover is open. Open the printer`s cover and make sure the paper is not jammed. Close the printer`s cover. Turn the printer off, then back on.
Ink flush consumes a great amount of ink. Frequent ink flush can rapidly consume ink, so perform ink flush only when necessary. Performing ink flush when the remaining ink level is not enough may damage the printer. Before performing ink flush, check the remaining ink level of all colors.
Over time, the ink residue dries up and blocks the nozzle of print head due to which low-quality print or dark lines appears across the documents you print. Therefore power flushing the print heads can clear the clogs from the nozzle of the print head and restore proper ink flow.
There are two indicator lights on the printer: the Status light and the Charging light. Each indicator light shows the status of the printer as described below. Status indicator light: A blue or green light indicates the printer is operating correctly, while red indicates an error has occurred. Indicator light color.
A blinking Power light indicates that the product requires maintenance, or is in an error state.
Factory Reset Epson Printer
Firstly, simply Turn your Epson printer device off. Now, find the reset button on the back of your Epson printer near the ethernet port. Press and hold your Epson printer`s reset button for a few seconds.
Fatal Error
Turn off the printer, then turn it on again. The ink out lights come on and the print head moves left. Replace the ink cartridge with a new one. If the fatal error occurs again after turning on the printer, contact your dealer.

Multiple Problems With Epson Stylus Photo R280
ANSWER : I have had my R280 for about 3 years. It has worked fine with generic cartridges for several years now. Last week it indicated I needed to replace one cartridge. I used a generic cartridge from the same manufacturer I had used before. The printer would not accept the new cartridge and now told me that I needed to replace 4 cartridges because it recognized them as non Epson. Surely there is some way to fool the printer so it does not recognize generic cartridges – which have worked well in the past and are still over half full! Anyone got any ideas?

Epson Stylus Photo R200 – flashing red lights
ANSWER : The R800 will flash the ink and paper lights alternately when the ink pads are assumed to be full from extensive head cleaning. Sometimes, if not always, the head will lock into place on the right side above the ink head cleaning sponges that release ink to the lower ink pads.To correct the problem you need to clean the sponge area, I use cotton swabs. If the head is locked to need to release the carriage lock with a screwdriver. This will require removing the cover, but not necessarily the bottom of the unit.There is a 179 page service manual available for download for $16.50. There are free downloads of this manual, but usually are missing the 100 pages.You can remove the cover by:1. Remove the three screws on the rear housing (One to the left of the power plug, one on the opposite side and one in the lower middle bottom.2. Remove the three screws inside the upper housing (Just under the lid where the hinge is).3. Remove the screw under the left and right side in back below the vents.4. In the back pull the white ribbon closest to you out of the block, do not try to remove the block itself.5. Place a screwdriver into the slot both on the right and lift of the bottom corners on the back to release the hooks that hold the upper unit.6. Lastly, put a screwdriver into the notches on the bottom of the printer located in the front right and left, they are spring loaded.7. Remove cover.8. The head lock release screw is in the right side of the printer and is partially covered by the lower housing. I drilled a half inch hole into the side as to be able to insert a screwdriver. Turn the screw to the left and the head will rise out of the locked position. You only need to turn enough to release the head.9. Clean the sponges and any areas you see with excess ink.10. Place the cover on the unit enough to plug the white ribbon back in and turn the unit on.If the printer lights stop flashing then you are all set.
