Is your Epson L110 printer blinking? No need to panic, find out the causes and how to overcome them in this article. How are you? We hope you all are always in good health.

In this article, Mimin will explain the steps to overcome the blinking indicator lights on the Epson L110 printer, both alternately and simultaneously.

As is known, the Epson L110 printer has three indicator lights, namely the power, ink and paper lights. The blinking of the indicator light, whether alternately or simultaneously, is a sign that the Epson L110 printer is experiencing an error or certain problem.

This blinking error will be immediately visible when the printer is turned on and is usually accompanied by other symptoms, such as not being able to print.

Apart from that, when checked using EPSON Status Monitor 3, an Error warning appears on the screen. When it is turned on, only the power light is on, but not long after that the ink and paper lights also come on.

Is your printer experiencing problems like this? Don't worry, Mimin has the solution...

But before that, let's first find out some of the causes of flashing indicator lights on the Epson L110 printer.


Causes of Flashing Lights on Epson L110 Printer


Epson L110 Printer: Power, Ink and Paper Lights Blink


We must first differentiate what type of blinking is occurring, because there are several types of blinking on the Epson L110 printer, namely:

  • All lights (power, ink, and paper) flash at the same time.
  • All lights (power, ink, and paper) flash alternately.
  • The ink and paper lights flashed together.
  • The ink and paper lights flash alternately.


1. Cause of all Epson L110 lights flashing at the same time


If all the indicator lights (power, ink and paper) of the Epson L110 flash at the same time, it is often caused by a problem with the abnormal movement of the printer's mechanical system.

The following are some of the causes:

  • The dynamo rotation up/down is not normal
  • Dirty/damaged encoder ribbon sensor
  • Dirty/damaged encoder ribbon
  • Paper roller jammed.
  • The gearbox is blocked by a foreign object or broken.

Apart from that, there are two types of blinking errors simultaneously, namely first, blinking errors when the printer is turned on and second, blinking errors when the printer is used to print.

If the Epson L110 printer is turned on and all the lights immediately experience a blinking error, then the most likely cause is:

  • Problem with upper dynamo.
  • Problem with the upper paper pickup roller (accompanied by a noisy sound).
  • Problems with the gearbox.
  • Problems with the movement of the cartridge housing.

If the new Epson L110 printer experiences a blinking error when used for printing, then the most likely cause is:

  • Problem with lower dynamo.
  • Problem with the movement of the lower paper pickup roller.
  • Problem with paper sensor lever.

This second type of flickering is also usually accompanied by signs of the printer not being able to pull the paper or paper jam.


2. Causes of the Epson L110 Printer Light Flashing Alternately


If the Epson L110 printer's power and resume indicator lights flash alternately, then the cause is that the ink pad's lifespan has ended (waste ink pads are full).

How to fix this alternating blinking error is quite easy because we don't need to disassemble the printer, but use the help of printer reset software.


How to Solve Epson L110 Printer Flashing Lights


Because there are two types of blinking errors, namely simultaneously and alternately, Mimin also divides the solution into two parts.


1. How to Solve Epson L110 Printer Lights Flashing Simultaneously


Following are the steps to repair an Epson L110 printer that is flashing simultaneously:

  • Check the lower paper pickup roller, check whether the rotation is normal or not.
  • If it is not normal, it is usually caused by a problem with the hook wire.
  • Check the upper paper pickup roller, make sure it is not shifted, blocked, or broken.
  • Check the movement of the cartridge housing, make sure its movement is not obstructed by foreign objects.
  • Check the upper dynamo, make sure the rotation is normal or not damaged.
  • Check the lower dynamo, make sure the rotation is normal or not damaged.
  • Check the gearbox, make sure it rotates normally or is not blocked by foreign objects.
  • Check the paper sensor lever, make sure it is not damaged or detached.

2. How to Solve the Epson L110 Printer Lights Flashing Alternately


The alternating flashing lights on the Epson L110 printer can be resolved by resetting the printer, manually or with the help of software/applications.

The following are the steps to resolve the blinking error on the Epson L110 printer manually:

  • Plug the printer cable into a power source.
  • Press power to turn on the Epson L110 printer as usual.
  • Press the Power and Resume buttons simultaneously for 5 seconds, then release.
  • Press both buttons again for 3 seconds, then release.
  • The printer starts processing the reset command, wait until it finishes.
  • The printer is ready to use.
  • Finished.

If you want to use software/application assistance, then you need an application called Epson Adjustment Program L110 (software reset), look for the application on the internet.

That's all for this guide, hopefully it can be a solution to your Epson L110 printer problems, thank you.
