Currently, there are many brands of printers on the market, and each type of printer has its own advantages and disadvantages. Although now you are using a printer brand of high-end or low-end? Which brand are you using? Or are you using an old printer, a new one, an expensive one or a cheap one?… You still can't avoid some unexpected errors during printing.

Therefore, the main topic of this article that I want to mention is Teach people how to recognize some common errors on the printer through bright lights. Please read for more detailed information and more specific in the article below.

 

Introduction and How to identify printer errors via indicator lights

Next, Blogmayin.com will guide readers to identify the errors occurring on the printer through the indicator light.

Instructions to identify printer errors through the indicator light

1. The printer error indicates two red lights that are flashing continuously

CASE 1: The printer indicates 1 light is flashing and 1 light does not light

It can be due to one of the following reasons:

– You may have pressed the Cancel button during printing

 

– The paper tray is out of paper or the machine has a jam

– Your printer is in the data receiving mode, then the green light will blink slowly

Direction to fix printer errors:

– If you press the Cancel button to cancel the print job, press the Resume button to re-print the job.

– If the paper tray is empty, add paper to the tray

– If the printer has a jam, to avoid damaging the printer drum, avoid pulling the paper directly out of the printer. Remove it instead

the toner cartridge comes out of the printer and then pulls out the jammed paper before repeating the cartridge as before.

CASE 2: The printer fails to start and the printer blinks two red lights continuously alternating

The printer does not start, two red lights blink continuously alternately => Your printer has been overflowing with memory leading to the printer hang, need to restart and use the printer reset software.

The printer starts up normally, but at the end of the period it stops at the original output position and indicates 2 red lights flashing alternately (Not flashing at the same time) => Printer memory has reached the level of nearly overflowing but not enough to overflow, need to download printer blank reset software.

The printer starts up normally, but at the end of the period, it stops at the position to remove the ink and the 2 red lights indicate red, this is the reading error.

With optical or printer vision errors, you need to bring them to a place to repair the printer before you can fix it.

CASE 3: Printer starts up and then runs over and over again and two flashes continuously at the same time

Possible causes: Printer has a motor jam; The optical eye (reading eye) of the device is damaged; The tape measure is damaged or dirty; The ink nozzles are damaged; Printer has faulty mainboard; The ink line is entangled when the machine is started, etc.

How to fix: With this error is mainly caused by a hardware failure, you need to remove the printer and clean it. If the parts are damaged, they will need to be replaced.

2. The ink light is lit or flashing

– For printers that have not been upgraded yet, are using ICs, you perform manual ink reset:

1. Press the Ink button on the printer, the nozzles will move to the right square (for Epson XP 200 nozzles will be in the middle)

 

2. In this position you can open the nozzle cover.

 

3. Press the white ink reset button located on the IC several times, then close the nozzle cover.

4. Press the Ink button on the printer to return the ink nozzles to the original position, the printer will automatically reset the ink and turn off the ink indicator (if the printer still indicates the ink light after several times, contact the technician. For advice you may have other printer errors).

– For printers that have upgraded, attach the ink set continuously, you should use the software to reset the ink.

3. The paper light lights up when printing the job

– The printer you are using may be out of paper, for the printer to work as usual, everyone should add more paper to the tray and press the paper button to continue printing.

– It is possible that the paper can not be received by the reading eye.

The reason may be that the reading eye is dirty, faulty or touched, you use decal paper so the eyes cannot read the paper, it may also be caused by the cable, the paper loader.

– Load paper is worn, dust .... Cannot stick to the paper to pull it down, causing an error, please contact technical assistance

4. Paper Light – Ink Light – The power light blinks non-cyclically when the printer is started

– The printer cover is not closed or the output tray is incorrectly positioned.

– Close the printer cover. If you use the CD printing function, remove the paper support tray from the printer, let the printer finish booting, insert the paper tray into the CD printing position before printing, and insert the CD tray.

5. The paper light and the ink light blink at the same time

General error, can be caused by a fault of the operator unit, the cable, or the system main. This is an error related to the printer's internal parts, which may have to be replaced before it can be fixed.
