Epson printer message: "To use cloud services, update the root certificate from the Epson Web Config utility."

Quick answer

The printer's stored root security certificate is out of date, blocking connections to Epson cloud services (e.g., Epson Connect). The user must open the Web Config utility and install/update the certificate.

Before you try the solution

  1. 1. Copy the complete message exactly as shown, including any code, letters, or punctuation the panel puts around it.
  2. 2. Find the printer's exact model number. The same-looking code can mean something different on another model family.
  3. 3. Let the current print, scan, or update operation stop before touching controls, paper paths, or covers.

Manufacturer-documented solution
