This problem might be resolved by selecting Settings > General Settings > Fax Settings > Basic Settings > Line Type and then selecting PBX. If your phone system requires an external access code to get an outside line, set the access code after selecting PBX. Use # (hash) instead of the actual access code when entering an outside fax number. This makes connection more secure.

If the error message is still displayed, set the Dial Tone Detection settings to disabled. However, disabling this feature may drop the first digit of a fax number and send the fax to the wrong number.

Recovery Mode

Update Firmware

The printer has started in recovery mode because the firmware update failed. Follow the steps below to try to update the firmware again.

1. Connect the computer and the printer with a USB cable. (During recovery mode, you cannot update the firmware over a network connection.)

2. Visit your local Epson website for further instructions.

*In some print cycles a very small amount of surplus ink may be collected in the borderless printing ink pad. To prevent ink leakage from the pad, the product is designed to stop borderless printing when the pad has reached its limit. Whether and how often this is required will vary according to the number of pages you print using the borderless print option. The need for replacement of the pad does not mean that your printer has ceased to operate in accordance with its specifications. The printer will advise you when the pad requires replacing and this can only be performed by an authorised Epson Service provider. The Epson warranty does not cover the cost of this replacement.
