Fatal error or maintenance request for Epson Stylus Photo 2100-2200.

All ink lights are blinking.

Power button is blinking

Paper eject button is blinking

I do not find any paper jam issues what indicates e.g. that the waste ink pads inside the printer need to be exchanged, for this maintenance the manual recommend to call a certified Epson Service technician near you.

Can I get the printer running again without calling the service?

If you have installed an external waste ink bottle you may reset the waste ink counter of the printer by the control panel.

Important! Follow the instructions below ONLY if you indeed installed an external waste ink reservoir because you may damage your printer if the waste ink inside the printer starts to overflow.

Let the printer rest for at least 1 minute before continue

fter a minute plug in the power cable but do not attach the computer interface cable

From the control panel press and hold down simultaneously the ROLL and PAPER buttons

Press quickly after releasing the roll and paper button the ROLL button again and hold it for about 10 seconds.
