There is no doubt that one of the most used output components in the world is the printer, and although there are hundreds of models, styles, and functions, its objective will remain the same: Print everything we do on the computer.
The printer is one of the hardware elements that we usually purchase to complement our daily tasks, and Epson printers are one of the leaders in the market and are widely used across the world.
Today, printers are integrated into a more multifunctional character to do more tasks such as scanning and faxing from the same device.
Although Epson printer installation is simple, whether connected by cable or wirelessly, sometimes a printer cannot be added correctly, or you may run into Epson printer errors that cause it to remain inoperative.
Like all hardware components, on certain occasions, we can find ourselves faced with various Epson printer errors that affect the optimal and ideal functioning of the printer, and one of the most common is the error code 0x97 on your Epson printer that prevents the printing process from running.
Epson printers are widely used around the world; however, many users, especially long-life Epson printer users, reported that Epson error code 0x97 appears during the printing process.
This error appears on display with a prompt to turn the printer off and on. Once this error occurs, the printer stops printing, thus preventing any printing activity from occurring.
The 0x97 error is caused by problems with the internal hardware of the printer. Solving this printer problem requires practical technical solutions given below.
