Epson WF3520 turns itself on and off and screen becomes unresponsive

0

3

My Epson WF3520 (which has worked perfectly for 4 years) today started to turn itself on and off every minute or two. It means that any connection to it is lost. It happens both while the printer or scanner is being used or even if it is not used. I have checked all the power cables, etc. but no change. While trying to use it, the printer screen will suddenly become unresponsive and then turn itself off and back on again.

This is the second time you've asked this question, or people with Epson WF 3520s started having the exact same problem at the exact same time: http://superuser.com/questions/1153544/epson-wf-3520-printer-keep-turning-itself-on-and-off

That's now 3 people with the same problem. Bad Windows Update? – DavidPostill – 2016-12-06T16:59:13.710

Issue seems hardware related, so printer firmware seems more likely. All OPs have english/germanic names and 1 rep which makes my sysadmin sense tingle just a wee bit, perhaps incorrectly. – music2myear – 2016-12-06T17:05:14.793

Hanlie Did you recently update the firmware on the device, or can you check which firmware the device is currently running? – music2myear – 2016-12-06T17:35:25.370
