Epson Stylus C84 Ink Jet Printer

When an ink cartridge is installed into the printer, it will take approximately one minute to charge the ink system and initialize the printer. While the ink is charging the  power light will flash. Never turn off the printer while the  power light is flashing (unless the printer hasn’t moved or made noise for more than 5 minutes). This initialization is a normal and necessary process. If the printer initialization does not stop after 5 minutes turn the printer off and contact Epson technical support for assistance.
