Paper & Ink lights alternately flashing on Epson R1900 printer. Can I do a factory reset to correct this?

Can not answer without more information. What brand of printer?
Are the paper/ink lights flashing alternately?

If your answers are, "Epson" and "yes, alternately", then the model number will help. Or, google "epson waste ink pad reset" for how to fix.

It;s general error or fatal error. Find the Adjusment Program for R1900, then Click Printer Information Check. You will find the latest fatal Error code. You can figure the actual error of your printer.

The difference in choosing the paper type will have an impact on how head squirts ink onto the media. For Epson printers, the best choice to fit the color is plain paper.However, to the maximum dpi (best photo or photo rpm), plain paper does not support.This can be overcome by adjusting the color management of the program that we use.Or convert to bitmap all objects (such as Corel Draw), or also in print as bitmap option.

Power off and paper and ink flashing alternately:

Parts inside the R1900 Series are at the end of their
service life or an unknown error has occurred. Contact
Epson for help

Power off and the paper and ink flashing fast:

The print head is obstructed by paper or other foreign
material. Turn off the printer, remove any obstructions,
and turn it back on. If the error persists, contact Epson

Good Luck!!!

have you check your ink cartridge? check whether it works or not by installing to same printer using your cartridge. i think there must be broken circuit inside

alternating flashing lights on ink and paper could mean that your printer is locked The cause waste ink pads are full Option should be to take the printer to your nearest Service centre and have it diagnosed and new ink pads fitted cost between £50 to £60
Or you could remove the waste ink pads yourself and replace them or wash them out dry them using a hairdryer etc and replace them you will then need to have your prnter reset

What you will need is a service manual for your printer model, and a restet utility you can get the reset utility free of charge from the internet

May I suggest that once you have done this you consider getting an external waste ink jit and fit it
no more stripping the printer and messing with ink pads it only takes five minutes to fit and is very easy to empty
