Memory Card Errors

If the «XX images could not be printed.» message is related to a memory card error in a Epson camera, do the following:

1. Connect The Memory Card:

   In digital and reflex cameras, photo and video files are mostly saved to a memory card. If the memory card is not connected to the camera, it can show an error message.

   

   In this case connect the memory card to the camera or, if it is already connected, make sure such connection is proper.

2. Disconnect And Reconnect The Memory Card Again:

   If a memory card error has occured, disconnect it from the camera. Before doing that, don’t forget to switch the camera off. After you have taken the memory card out of its slot, make sure its contacts are not damaged or dirty.

   

   Insert the memory card into the proper slot of your camera again.

3. Unlock The Memory Card:

   Make sure the memory card is not locked. The memory card lock switch (for SD cards) should be in the unlocked (upper) position.

   

   Otherwise, if the memory card is unlocked and there is an error saying it is still locked, you’ll have to format the memory card.

4. Format The Memory Card:

5. Take Pictures or Make Films In Lower Resolution:

   If while shooting a film your camera stops the process of recording/saving and flashes an error message, it may indicate insufficient read/write speed of the memory card. This speed can be low both because of the camera overheating and because of the speed restrictions set by the manufacturer.

   In this case, we recommend reducing the resolution of the pictures you are taking or videos you are making.

6. Clean Or Replace The Memory Card:

   The camera can flash an error if its internal memory/memory card is full. In the camera’s menu, change the settings so that files are saved to the memory card instead of the camera’s internal memory. Transfer files from the memory card to the computer or clean it to continue your work.

   

7. Try Testing The Memory Card With Another Device:

   If a memory card is not recognized by the camera, connect it to another camera or device to make sure it works properly with them.

8. Use a Memory Card Compatible With Your Camera:

   A camera can flash an error if an incompatible memory card is inserted. Replace such memory card with the one compatible with this camera according to the manufacturer’s recommendations.

Lens Error

If the «XX images could not be printed.» message is related to a lens error in a Epson camera, do the following:

1. Disconnect And Reconnect The Lens Again:

   Disconnect the lens from the camera and make sure that its metal contacts are clean and intact as well as the lens contacts on the camera body.

   

   If reconnecting the lens and cleaning its contacts haven’t fixed the problem, the camera may need repairing.

2. Make Sure The Camera And The Lens Are Compatible With Each Other:

   A lens error may result from trying to connect a lens model which is incompatible with your camera. Make sure your camera model is compatible with the lense model according to the manufacturer’s recommendations.

3. Switch The Camera "Off" And Then Switch It "On" Again:

   A camera can show an error because of its lense jammed or blocked during the transportation. For some reason, the blocking may not be disabled.

   If the camera reports a lense error, switch it off and then switch it on again.

4. Update The Camera’s Firmware:

   A camera’s lens error may occur because the device needs updating its firmware. Go to the camera manufacturer’s website to check for latest firmware and update it if a newer version is available.

File Damage Or File Error

   The pictures or videos may have been taken with another camera model and therefore cannot be read by your particular device.

2. Insert Another Memory Card Into Your Camera:

   If your camera reports a damaged file error, and formatting the memory card did not help, connect another memory card (which works properly) to your camera.

   If the error does not appear again, then your memory card must have been damaged or broken. If the error occurs again and again, it indicates more serious problems, and you’d better go to a service center to fix them.

3. Try Taking A Picture Once More:

   If the camera cannot complete the process of saving or compressing a picture and flashes an error message, try taking a picture again. Picture file format may need to be changed, or there may be a processing function failure.

4. Unlock The File Which Is Marked “Read Only”:

   If you cannot delete a photo or video file with the help of your camera, it may be marked “read only.” Go to the file properties tab and uncheck the box “read only” using your computer or camera menu (if such function is provided by the manufacturer).

1. Disconnect And Reconnect The Battery Again:

   If there is an error related to your camera’s power supply, disconnect and take out the battery (accumulator cell). Make sure the battery was connected to the camera properly. Make sure the battery model corresponds to the camera model. Make sure the battery contacts are not damaged or dirty. If all the previous actions yielded no result, you battery may be out of order.

   

2. Charge The Battery:

   Some activities of the camera consume much power from the battery. For example, if you need to clean a digital camera sensor, the battery has to be fully charged. If the camera detects that the battery level is insuficient for a certain action, it will report a battery low error. In this case, you need to charge the battery.

3. Cool The Battery:

   Transfer your pictures to the computer to vie them in full size.
