The first time you install ink cartridges, the printer must charge its print head for about 90 seconds. Wait until charging finishes (the green
power light stops flashing) before you turn off the printer, or
it may charge improperly and use excess ink the next time you turn it on. If the printer stops moving or making noise, but the green
power light is still flashing after 5 minutes, turn off the printer. If the light is still flashing when you turn it back on, contact Epson.
Turn off the printer, then make sure the ink cartridges are inserted completely and the ink cartridge cover is closed completely. Also make sure no packing material remains in the printer. Wait a moment, then turn the printer back on to clear the error.
to clarify, on the control, first the red light flashes for ten seconds and shuts off, at which time the green light starts flashing in the same duration for longer until it too shuts off.
