If you’re encountering (1–800–319–5804) a “Print Head High Temperature Error” on your Epson printer, it typically indicates that the print head has exceeded its safe operating temperature. Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot and potentially resolve this issue:
Turn off the Printer: Immediately turn off the printer to prevent any further damage.
Let it Cool Down: Allow the printer to cool down for at least 30 minutes. This will give the print head time to return to a safe temperature.
Check Ventilation: Ensure that the printer is placed in a well-ventilated area. Overheating can occur if the printer is placed in an enclosed space or if the ventilation slots are blocked.
Clean the Print Head: Sometimes, debris or dust buildup on the print head can cause it to overheat. Use a soft, lint-free cloth lightly dampened with water to gently clean the print head. Be careful not to apply too much pressure or use any harsh cleaning agents, as this can damage the print head.
Check for Firmware Updates: Epson occasionally releases firmware updates that address various issues, including temperature-related errors. Check the Epson website or use the printer’s control panel menu to see if there are any updates available for your printer.
Inspect for Physical Damage: Examine the print head and surrounding components for any signs of physical damage, such as loose or disconnected cables, bent components, or burnt areas. If you notice any damage, contact Epson support for further assistance.
Reset the Printer: Some Epson printers have a reset option in the settings menu or a physical reset button. Refer to your printer’s user manual for instructions on how to perform a reset.
Contact Epson Support: If the error persists after trying the above steps, it’s possible that there may be a more serious hardware issue with the printer. In this case, it’s best to contact Epson customer support or bring the printer to an authorized service center for repair.
Genuine Epson Parts and Components
One of the key advantages of choosing Epson Printer Repair Service Centers is the assurance of genuine replacement parts and components. Using authentic Epson parts ensures compatibility and optimal performance, minimizing the risk of further complications. Unlike unauthorized repair shops that may use generic or counterfeit parts, Epson Printer Repair Service Centers prioritize quality and reliability in every repair job.

Turn off the Printer
This is crucial to prevent any further damage to the print head or other components of the printer. Unplug the printer from the power source as well to ensure complete shutdown.
Let it Cool Down
Print heads can reach high temperatures during printing, especially if the printer has been operating continuously or if there’s a blockage in the print head nozzles. Allowing the printer to cool down gives it a chance to return to a safe operating temperature.
Check Ventilation
Poor ventilation can contribute to overheating issues. Ensure that the printer has enough space around it for air to circulate freely. If the printer is placed inside a cabinet or enclosed space, consider moving it to a more open area.
