Communication error error code :2100012c - Epson Stylus Pro 10000 InkJet Printer

1) If you are trying to use an Epson Adjustment Utility on the system, the issue occurs. Check if the printer is connected to the system via a USB cable, properly.

2) The utility may not work over a network connection. If you have a system with Windows Vista or 7 operating system, it does not work.

3) Check if the utility is working in the compatibility mode. If you wish to connect many printers to the system, resetting the utility may help to resolve the issue.

4) If the USB connection is only to a single printer, turn on the printer and the system.

The error code is caused by one of the following:
1. More than one Epson printer is connected (turn any others off)
2. The utility can't connect using the "Auto" setting for the printer "port" (Select the specific printer port using the "Select" button).

Printer is displaying error po8

The Canon Pixma MP250 error p08 code means your printer has wasted ink. You will need to reset the printer by pressing the reset button and holding it and then press the reset button twice to enter the maintenance mode to reset the wasted pad ink. Press the reset button four times and then turn the printer button off and then back on.

I have 2 epson workforce 1100 there is error of mentenes tank i resive some resetter program but when i try it i resive cominication error eror code :2100012c how i can fixit

Did you use Epson Genuine Cartridges?
ALL…. Epson & Brother Requires Genuine Cartridges. !!!!!!!!
That sounds like your problem.

In Purchasing Epson's CX 5400, CX4600, & CX7400 and more, I found out that Epson does not like Generic Printer Cartridges. I also Purchased a Brother MFC-240C All-In-One InkJet Printer. That also does not like Generic Print Cartridges. Color that should be Yellow, will turn out Green, Blue Brown, etc.

These printers have a CHIP that will detect if it is Generic or Genuine. When they see it’s Generic Cartridges, it will print lines thru the words, stripes across the picture and also do a mix match with the colors. It also will not let you print anything, if only one of the cartridges is empty.

I wanted to print only Black, and would not let me, because I did not have any ink in one of my cyan cartridges. Go figure.

That's what these Companies do., so they can keep selling the ink cartridges. Some Printers, are able to use Generic, and some are refillable. Some you can refill them up yourself and I heard, quite MESSY.

So I learned, thru trial and error, that you must use the ORIGINAL Genuine Cartridges for these PRINTERS. Some people say some models work fine compatible, but not mine.......


I had to replace the printer, but Epson, Lexmark & Brothers are always on sale. My Brother & Epson cost me $50.00 with Rebate. .


IF YOU ARE USING GENERIC CARTRIDGES, MAYBE IT WOULD BE BETTER IF YOU DISABLE THE INK MONITOR.

This is the only advice I can give you.


The next step would be to disassemble the Epson, and clean the Pads/Heads. Click on link below.:
