Use this page to compare known light colors, blinking patterns, meanings, and fixes for the Epson XP-231.
Quick reminder: This is a model-specific guide. Do not use it for a different model unless the manufacturer says the light codes are shared.
Light status table
| Light | Color | Pattern | Meaning | What to do |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Paper light | Orange | Flashing | On the Epson XP-231, a flashing paper light commonly points to a paper jam or a paper-feed problem that needs to be cleared before printing continues. | Remove jammed paper carefully, reload the paper correctly, then press the copy button Epson identifies for clearing the error. |
| Power light | Green | Flashing | If the Epson XP-231 power light keeps flashing for more than a few minutes after replacing ink, the cartridge may not be installed correctly. | Give the printer time to finish charging ink. If the power light keeps flashing after several minutes, reseat the cartridge. |
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.
