All lights flashing on Epson CX5000

For no apparent reason, my Epson CX5000 printer now has all the lights flashing (and an "E" on the copies display). There had been no problems before and nothing happened to suggest a problem was coming. Help!

    Having the same problem. All lights flashing for no apparent reason. Could it be humidity?

    Mine started having this problem around August 20th.

    I just replaced my blue and red cartriges (magenta and cyan). Expensive MOFOs!. I have changed them before without any problems. I followed the instructions. Now my system shows that the yellow is low. Luckily I bought the yellow and black cartridge. Now my system shows that my blue is totally out and the red is about to go low. I tried the ritual about 10 times. It's going to be cheaper to buy a new printer instead of keep replacing cartridges. Also, I just print in black and white and my color ink eventually keeps dropping. Is there a way to print only in black and white instead of depending on having full color cartridges to print with black ink?

    My printer is also displaying a full error state. I suspect that the bulk ink system interfered with the print head's ability to travel back and forth. I re-routed the ink lines and secured them so they will not cause the same problem but I am unable to clear the error state. How do I reset the error state of diagnose the error condition?

Well myob247, I must confess your solution is, in my opinion, quite useless. Providing a link to the EPSON site where users a told to "go get your printer fixed" is no different than opening the users manual and reading "go get your printer fixed". How about some useful information? How do I reset the error state? How do I diagnose the actual error code to determine what is wrong with the device?

INK DOES NOT FLOW. HOW TO CLEAN INK AREA.

Hi there,

Here is a few steps to clean the print head of your printer.


1. Make sure the CX5000 Series all-in-one is turned on but not printing, and the ink cartridges are not low or expended.


2. Right-click the printer icon on your taskbar (in the lower right corner of your screen). Select Head Cleaning.


3. Click Start or Next.
Cleaning takes several seconds. The CX5000 Series runs a head cleaning cycle and the On light flashes.
Caution:
Never turn off the CX5000 Series while head cleaning is in progress. You may damage it.


4. When the On light stops flashing, make sure paper is loaded in the CX5000 Series, then do the following:
Windows:
Click Print Nozzle Check Pattern. Then click Print.


5. If there are no gaps or lines, click Finish.
If there are still gaps or lines, or the test patterns are faint, click Clean to clean the print head again.
If you don’t see any improvement after cleaning three times, refer to Problems and Solutions. You can also turn the printer off and wait overnight. This lets any dried ink soften. Then try cleaning the print head again.

Tip:
If you do not use your CX5000 Series often, it is a good idea to print a few pages at least once a month to maintain good print quality.


Cleaning the Print Head


Hope this initial / info idea helps.
