I bought an Epson 4750 printer a few months ago and have had nothing but problems with it. Ever since day one it has been incredibly slow. It’s now gives me a scanner error 100016 and displays a message asking me to contact support. I also have an Epson ET 2550 and was comparing speeds. The 2550 spit out 49 pages in the time the 4750 spit out 7.
Thank you Margaret! It worked for me too! changed a cartridge and it powered up!
How can I fix Epson ET-4750 with system error 202201?
Have the same problem with WF 4740-under 2 years old Scanner ERROR 100016- It seems to happen right after I print- Print cartridges are not moving- Turned ON the OFF- a few times- did not work until I heard the cartridges moving- then I knew the Scanner Error 10016 would not be there- Until the next Time!- Took out a the black ink cartridge and replaced it- worked after 2 tries and shut OFF/ON- There obviuosly is an issue which I don’t know the answer to- Wish someone from Epson tech support would help in this regard
I have the exact same problem as Margaret-Try everything- mine is 2 1/2 years old- removed paper trays-removed black cartridge and reinserted, must turn ON then OFF about 10-20 times- when I hear ink cartridge moving then I know it is OK- ANY other suggestions- Going to call Epson tomorrow- Will probably have no luck unless they can walk me through driver re-install- ANY SUGGESTIONS?
My 4740 is only 2yrs old… light home use only… rarely used the scanner. I tried every fix above… pulling paper trays worked for only one week… and of course the printer is designed so neither the printer nor the copier can be used with the scanner error code showing. So now it’s an expensive paperweight… unbelievable! It is beyond ridiculous to have an unfixable error like this for such a lightly used/well maintained printer. Epson “offered” to let me buy another printer for the price I originally paid… otherwise, they were zero help. I will never buy an Epson printer again.
I got the same thing on my 4740. I turned it off, opened the main compartment, took out an ink cartridge just for the heck of it, closed it, and turned it back on. Powered on fine ?♂️
