Epson WorkForce WF-110 Status Codes and Fixes
Exact WF-110 display codes covering printer errors, maintenance-box conditions, battery temperature/charge, paper jams, cartridges, wireless setup, and firmware recovery.
E-01 — Printer error
The WF-110 detected a printer error.
- Turn the printer off and back on.
- If E-01 returns, check the paper path for jammed paper or scraps.
- If the path is clear and E-01 remains, the printer needs Epson service diagnosis.
E-11 — Ink pad at end of service life
The printer's internal ink pad has reached its service limit.
- Stop treating this as a cartridge problem; it is a waste-ink maintenance condition.
- Arrange Epson-authorized service for the ink pad.
- A counter reset alone is not a physical repair for a saturated pad.
E-12 — Maintenance box full
The replaceable maintenance box has reached capacity.
- Obtain the correct WF-110 maintenance box.
- Replace it using Epson's normal user procedure.
- Do not attempt to empty and reuse a box that the printer has marked full.
E-13 — Maintenance box missing or installed incorrectly
The printer cannot use the maintenance box because it is absent or not seated correctly.
- Open the maintenance-box area and confirm a compatible box is installed.
- Remove and reinstall it firmly.
- If the correct box is seated and E-13 remains, inspect for damage/contamination around the box contacts and use Epson support.
E-14 — Maintenance box not recognized
The installed maintenance box cannot be recognized.
- Confirm the box is the correct model/type for the WF-110.
- Remove and reinstall it.
- If a known-correct box still produces E-14, replace the box or escalate to Epson support.
E-21 / E-25 — Battery error
The WF-110 detected a battery-related error.
- Turn the printer off and disconnect charging power briefly.
- Let the battery/printer return to normal operating conditions, then restart.
- If E-21 or E-25 returns, stop relying on repeated resets and use Epson battery/service support.
E-22 / E-26 — Battery too cold
The battery temperature is below the range where the printer can operate/charge normally.
- Move the printer to a normal indoor-temperature location.
- Let the battery warm naturally; do not heat it with a heater, hair dryer, or other direct heat source.
- Retry only after the printer and battery have acclimated.
E-23 / E-27 — Battery too hot
The battery temperature is too high.
- Stop printing/charging and move the printer away from direct sun or a hot vehicle.
- Let it cool naturally in a ventilated indoor area.
- If the code returns at normal room temperature, use Epson battery/service support.
E-24 — Battery charge too low
The battery does not have enough charge to continue the requested operation.
- Connect the WF-110 to its proper AC adapter/power source.
- Allow the battery to charge before retrying a large job.
- If it will not charge or E-24 returns immediately after charging, troubleshoot the adapter, battery, and charging system.
W-01 — Paper jam in rear paper feed
Paper is jammed in the rear feed path.
- Remove visible paper slowly from the rear feed.
- Check for small torn pieces and reload clean, flat paper.
- If W-01 repeats in the same location, inspect the feed path/rollers rather than repeatedly forcing paper through.
W-02 — Paper jam inside printer
The printer detected paper jammed internally.
- Open only the normal user-accessible cover/path and remove the sheet carefully.
- Remove all scraps before closing the printer.
- If no paper is present but W-02 returns, an internal paper sensor/feed mechanism may need service.
W-11 — Ink pad nearing end of service life
The internal waste-ink pad is approaching its service limit.
- Printing may continue temporarily if the printer allows it.
- Plan service before the warning becomes a stop condition.
- Do not treat it as a low-cartridge warning; it concerns waste ink collected during maintenance/cleaning.
W-12 — Ink cartridge installed incorrectly
A cartridge is not seated or installed correctly.
- Identify the cartridge indicated by the printer.
- Remove it and reinstall it firmly in the correct position.
- If W-12 remains, check that the cartridge is compatible and undamaged.
W-13 — Ink cartridge not recognized
The printer cannot recognize one or more installed cartridges.
- Confirm the cartridge is correct for the WF-110.
- Remove and reseat it.
- If a compatible cartridge still is not recognized, replace that cartridge; persistent recognition failure with multiple known-good cartridges points back to the printer.
I-22 — WPS push-button setup
The printer is waiting for WPS push-button Wi-Fi setup.
- Start WPS on the router/access point while the printer is in this state.
- Keep the printer within normal wireless range.
- If the router does not support WPS, use another Epson-supported wireless setup method.
I-23 — WPS PIN setup
The printer is waiting for the displayed WPS PIN to be entered into the router/access point.
- Open the router's WPS PIN setup.
- Enter the PIN currently displayed by the printer within the allowed time.
- If it expires, restart the WPS PIN procedure and use the new code.
I-31 — Computer-guided Wi-Fi setup
The printer is ready to complete wireless setup through Epson's software on a computer.
- Run the Epson setup/installer for the WF-110.
- Choose the wireless setup path and follow the prompts.
- After connection, confirm the printer receives an IP address and test printing.
I-41 — Paper Configuration must be enabled for AirPrint
The printer's paper-configuration setting is preventing normal AirPrint use.
- Open the printer's paper/configuration settings.
- Enable the paper-configuration option specified by Epson.
- Retry AirPrint after the setting is enabled.
I-81 — Switched to battery power
This is an informational status indicating the WF-110 switched from external power to its battery.
- Check the AC adapter/cable if you expected the printer to remain on external power.
- If running on battery is intentional, no repair is required.
- If it repeatedly drops to battery while plugged in, troubleshoot the adapter, outlet, and power connector.
Recovery Mode — Firmware update failed
The printer entered firmware recovery after an update did not complete correctly.
- Connect the WF-110 directly to the computer using USB.
- Run Epson's firmware update/recovery process for the exact model again.
- Do not interrupt power or disconnect USB during recovery.
- If Recovery Mode remains, use Epson support.
