Common errors and their corresponding LED signals on the Epson L210 printer:
No Power/Off: All LEDs are turned off.
+ Power On: The Power LED is solid green.
+ Paper Out: The Paper LED blinks or turns on solid red.
+ Paper Jam: The Paper and Ink LEDs blink alternately or simultaneously.
This error occurs when there is a paper jam in the printer. To fix this error, follow these steps:
– Turn off the printer and unplug it from the power outlet.
– Open the printer cover and remove any paper jams.
– Close the printer cover and plug the printer back into the power outlet.
– Turn on the printer and try printing again.
Ink Out: The Ink LED blinks or turns on solid red.
Ink Pad Near End of Service Life: The Ink and Paper LEDs blink simultaneously. You can fix this error by follow post reset Epson L210 printer’s waste ink counter
Ink Pad Full/Service Required: The Ink, Paper, and Power LEDs blink simultaneously.
Carriage Error: The Ink, Paper, and Power LEDs blink simultaneously or alternately.
Communication Error: The Ink, Paper, and Power LEDs blink simultaneously or alternately.
Other Hardware Error: The Ink, Paper, and Power LEDs blink simultaneously or alternately.
Please note that the specific LED signals and their meanings may vary slightly depending on the printer’s firmware version or any customizations made by Epson.
You should always consult your Epson L210 printer’s user manual or Epson support resources for the most accurate and up-to-date information on LED signals and troubleshooting for your Epson L210 printer.
