EPSON XP-640 Scanner/Printer

Scanner Error on Epson XP-640 keeps coming up as Error Code 1600, ever since Apple Upgrade.

Have uninstalled, reinstalled - everything! Can't seem to get the message off the printer's memory, rendering my entire All-in-One Epson XP-640 useless..

Would surely appreciate any advice.

iMac, macOS 10.13

Reset the Printing System:

I had the same issue with my Epson Eco Tank Printers - Reseting the Printing System fixed it, as the drivers were installed in an instant.

What to do:

  1. Go To: System Preferences
  2. Select: Printers & Scanners
  3. Right-Click: on this pinter
  4. Select: Reset printing system...
  5. Click: Reset button

Hi,


Epson XP-640 is mentioned in About AirPrint - Apple Support as a model supporting the driverless AirPrint technology. This means that you do not have to install drivers, if the printer is connected to the same network as the computer.


For a USB connection, drivers are used. Try to reset the printing system and re-add the printer. Check whether the operating system suggests suitable drivers.


Reset the Mac printing system to solve a problem - Apple Support

Add a printer on Mac - Apple Support


Drivers/software from the printer manufacturer may or may not add functionality.

(if you are not using macOS High Sierra 10.13, please change the operating system).
