    Solutions to Fix the Epson Error Code 0X97<\/strong><\/h2>\n

    Now use these resolutions to clear Epson error 0x97.<\/p>\n

    1.\u00a0\u00a0 Check for Hardware Problems in Epson Printer<\/h3>\n

    The first thing is to check if your Epson printer has any hardware malfunctions. It is best to use the Epson.com\/support page to find out about errors in your specific printer model.<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. On the support page, tap \u2018Search for your printer<\/strong>.\u2019<\/li>\n
    2. After that, tap your printer category and then its series.<\/li>\n
    3. Now, tap the specific model number, and a page will open that will have answers to frequently asked queries. You can find the resolution from here.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      2. Disconnect the Printer and Reset it<\/h3>\n

      The next step to clear the Epson error code 0x97 is to disconnect everything from the printer. Follow these steps.<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Cancel all print tasks.<\/li>\n
      2. Disconnect each cable linked to your printer, such as USB, cables, and ink cartridges.<\/li>\n
      3. Now, press and hold the \u2018Power<\/strong>\u2019 button.<\/li>\n
      4. Connect everything again and re-install the ink cartridges.<\/li>\n
      5. If this does not work, disconnect the printer\u2019s cables again.<\/li>\n
      6. Let the printer be in this state for five minutes.<\/li>\n
      7. Now, press and hold the \u2018Power<\/strong>\u2019 button and connect all the cables.<\/li>\n
      8. Press and hold the \u2018Power<\/strong>\u2019 button again for a minute and then let go.<\/li>\n
      9. Now, give a test print command and check for the error.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        3. Check the Nozzles of Your Printhead<\/h3>\n

        Another cause of the Epson WF-3640 error code 0x97 is dirty printer head nozzles. If the nozzles are clogged, it may result in this error popping up. So, run a nozzle check pattern as follows:<\/p>\n

          \n
        1. Find out if there is adequate paper in the input tray. If not, load the tray with paper.<\/li>\n
        2. Now, on the printer\u2019s control panel, select \u2018Setup<\/strong>\u2019 using the Up and Down arrow buttons.<\/li>\n
        3. Now, hit the \u2018OK<\/strong>\u2019 button.<\/li>\n
        4. Now, choose \u2018Maintenance<\/strong>\u2019 and hit \u2018OK<\/strong>.\u2019<\/li>\n
        5. Now, choose \u2018Printer head nozzle check<\/strong>\u2019 and hit \u2018OK<\/strong>.\u2019<\/li>\n
        6. Select the Start button to print.<\/li>\n
        7. If you see the lines on the test page appearing uniform, it means there is no problem with the printer head.<\/li>\n
        8. It may be that the nozzles are clogged.<\/li>\n
        9. Clean them by removing cartridges from the printhead.<\/li>\n
        10. Now, remove the print head and clean it with a cloth and warm water.<\/li>\n
        11. Ensure that there\u2019s no new ink on the cloth.<\/li>\n
        12. Dry the print head with a dry cloth.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          3. Hit \u2018OK<\/strong>\u2019 and double-tap \u2018Print queues<\/strong>.\u2019<\/li>\n
