For most Epson printers, a hard reset can be achieved by turning off the printer, then unplugging it from the power outlet. Wait for at least 60 seconds to allow any residual power to drain. After the wait, plug the printer back in and turn it on. This simple power cycle often clears temporary internal glitches that might be causing an error state. Consult your printer's manual for model-specific factory reset procedures if a power cycle doesn't work.
