| Ink light and paper light | Orange/status lights | Both flashing | On the Epson L396, the ink and paper lights flashing can mean an ink pad is nearing or at the end of its service life. | Follow the computer message if one appears, and contact Epson support for ink pad service. |
Before replacing parts
Check the exact light name, color, and blinking pattern. Many devices use similar lights for very different states, such as setup mode, firmware updates, charging, connection attempts, paper jams, or failed pairing.
