How do iset my EpsonL3111 printer into service mode

Same thing here. Solid light stays on after trying to put into service mode.. did you get any solution before I dump this printer? Thanks

Switch the printer off and on again!

To get into service mode, power off the printer. Then hold the paper feed (paper select) button and info button, then release both once the printer displays the initializing screen.

The following procedure is used to initiate the Service Mode.
1 Hold down the [Menu+] and [Value+] keys while powering ON the printer. Hold the keys down until SERVICE MODE is displayed.
2 The interrupted power-on self test is resumed. If the test completes successfully, the message SERVICE MODE is displayed.


1 Enter the Service Mode as described previously.
2 When SERVICE MODE is displayed, press the [MENU] key to access the Service Menu. Press the [ITEM] key to step through the menu.
3 PAGES=XXXXXX is displayed. XXXXXX represents the page count currently stored in the printer's NVRAM. The underlined character denotes the cursor position.

Remove the battery cover, press and hold set until it beeps. Use the up down keys on the front and you cycle through year, month/day, then time, then 12/24 hour mode. You advance to each function using the set key. Once through the cycle, the time will stop flashing and the clock will function normally.

Now under service mode select counter, and select printer and W-INK to reset it, and under initialize select W-INK.
But also change the waste ink absorber so that you do not get waterfalls of ink from your plotter :-)

Hope that helps

HI there please click the menu button & then select the photo mode. There you can find few option. For example: Vivid, Neutral, Sepia, Black & White, custom. From there just select Black & white. After that take a snap which is come as B/W photos. If you have any doubt then ask me again i will send you the manual pages there you can see the all steps. Thanks.

Isnt e5 error meaning the cartridge has been previously used before?? Best bet is to hold in both the colour and black copy buttons for about 5 - 10 seconds and this should allow you to print again. If you do not have a copier/scanner, hold in the resume button. (triangle within a circle).
