Communication error.
Check if the computer is connected.
Connect the computer and the printer correctly. If you are connecting
over a network, see the Network Guide. If the error message is still
displayed, make sure that EPSON Scan and Epson Event Manager are
installed on the computer.
Invalid IP address and subnet mask.
Enter them correctly. See your documentation.
See the Network Guide.
No dial tone detected. This problem might be resolved by selecting Setup > Fax Settings >
Basic Settings > Line Type and then selecting PBX. If your phone
system requires an external access code to get an outside line, set the
access code after selecting PBX. Use # (hash) instead of the actual access
code when entering an outside fax number. This makes connection
more secure.
If the error message is still displayed, set the Dial Tone Detection
settings to disabled. However, disabling this feature may drop the first
digit of a fax number and send the fax to the wrong number.
Recovery Mode The printer has started in recovery mode because the firmware update
failed. Follow the steps below to try to update the firmware again.
1. Connect the computer and the printer with a USB cable. (During
recovery mode, you cannot update the firmware over a network
connection.)
2. Visit your local Epson website for further instructions.
* In some print cycles a very small amount of surplus ink may be collected in the ink pad. To prevent ink leakage
from the pad, the printer is designed to stop printing when the pad has reached its limit. Whether and how often
this is required will vary according to the number of pages you print, the type of material that you print and the
User's Guide
