    I had this error and paper was jammed, but also the print head as stuck like the next answer below. There was a little plastic lever stuck up below the print head. I moved the print head carefully to one side, pressed the white plastic lever down and it clucked into place. Moved the print head back to the right and switched on. It then complained about the paper jam. Pulled that out and it was good to go. Maybe the jam caused the other problem?

Call Toll-Free + 1-866-231-0111 Epson Error Code 0xf1 is called a commonly encountered key error owing to corrupted computer system registry entry. While this error code appears, during its initiation mode, the print head will not be able to conduct its regular function or even not be able to read any document from the left or right side. Print job will be until and unless you exterminate your Epson printer with this error code.

Steps to Fix Epson Error Code 0xf1

Usually, Epson Error Code 0xf1 indicates a defective PC entry. If your printer displays a 0xf1 error code error message, this implies that your printer will not be able to read the inserted records from either left or right and you will not be able to continue any printing process.

Solution of Epson Error Code 0xf1

Fixing Paper Jams Issue: If you discovered any piece of paper in the feed roller or paper cabinet, turn the printer and thoroughly open the paper output cover. Clear all obstacles in the form of dust, paper or debris from the feed roller, paper tray and under the cabinet and switch the printer on again.

Fixing Printhead Issue: If you have discovered a defective printhead that causes trouble, remove the printhead, clean it and correct it again. If the issue continues, it will require an updated printhead version. Buy a fresh one with a piece of expert guidance.

SOURCE: I have the picture mate personal photo lab and the error code 0x2 comes up when I turn it on and I am not able to do anything else

I had the same error and I could find no information on what it was or how to fix it so I decided to go trial and error. What I found is that this relates to the print head not being able to completely pass from the left to right side during startup. I had a plastic carriage on the one side that was stuck in a position that stop the carriage from make the complete run from side to side. When I forced the plastic carriage down and it clicked into place the error stopped and the printer started up normally with no codes. If anything is causing the print head to not travel completely from left to right during startup, this will probable cause the code. It will be hard to see if the print head is being obstructed if you don't remove the sides. I hope this helps.

SOURCE: Epson printer says "cannot recognize ink cartridges".

Are you using genuine epson cartridges? Many generics simply dont work on the newer printers. Once the printer decides the cartridge is empty, it sends a signal to the chip and that's it. You might hear ink, but if the chip says empty you can't use it. It also has the annoying habit of doing this when there's still 10-15% of the ink left.
I use reusable cartridges from http://www.ccs-digital.com They hold 2/3 more ink and the chips automatically reset to full if you remove and re-insert the cartridge. Instead of replacing the entire cartridge when it's empty, you pop out an internal ink tank and replace just that. So you know the chip has already been recognized by your printer. The ink tanks cost under $3. I think these are a brilliant invention.
