Title: Epson 4900 Error 1138
Post by: walter.sk on November 24, 2014, 02:04:00 pm

On occasion when I start up my 3 1/2 year-old Epson 4900 printer I get Error 1138, which says to call Epson if it doesn't go away after restarting.  It has appeared about 3 times in the last few months (unfortunately after the 3-year extended warranty) and the printer has rebooted successfully after powering down and restarting.

I googled the error and it says "Over Current Error."  Does anybody with Epsons have experience with this?  A call to Epson would be expensive now that the printer is beyond warranty.

I believe you have free access to Epson ProGraphics telephone support well after your warranty is expired. Call them to make sure, and if so, ask them this question.

Thanks.  I'll give them a call tomorrow during business hours.
