Model and driver source
This guide is for the a4 colour portable inkjet print-only printer with built-in battery, micro usb, wi-fi and wi-fi direct. no ethernet/scan/copy/fax. model Epson WF-100. The download button opens the official Epson support page in this window. The manufacturer’s page is authoritative for the available driver packages and their current compatibility.
WF-100 name and USB charging versus printing
The site's old “WorkForce Pro WF-100” listing describes this portable WF-100. Epson Korea's C11CE05507 product page and support page name it Epson WorkForce WF-100; this site now uses one representative guide. Check the complete body label and your regional support page. This correction does not identify a separately verified Pro version or promise interchangeable regional packages.
USB charging and USB printing use different checks. The Korean WF-100 manual NPD5127-07 KO, page 50, says to enable Menu → Battery → Battery Settings → USB Power Supply from PC when PC charging fails, with the printer off/asleep and the PC awake, directly connected. Its no-print checklist on page 83 says to disable that setting when diagnosing printing. Follow the instruction for the task you are doing; do not treat the charging setting as a printer-driver repair. Official Korean manual ZIP (PDF inside).

WF-100 Windows driver file and ARM64 result checks
Checked 16 October 2026: the Korean WF-100 support page still labels its ordinary KO/EN print file 28.1 MB. Following the actual print-file link reaches Epson’s current Download Center. Select Korea and your real OS. The WF-100 Windows x64 list and 2.60.00 file detail identify 31.61 MB, dated 29 October 2025; the stated update reason is Security update. This is the manufacturer’s release description, not a test of the installed driver.
| Actual selection | Observed file / result | Next step |
|---|---|---|
| Windows 11 x64 / Windows 10 x64 | Printer Driver 2.60.00,31.61 MB. File WF100_x64_260JAUsHomeExportAsiaML.exe lists Windows 11/10/8.1/8/7/Vista/XP x64. | Check the actual file conditions |
| Windows 11 ARM64 | With Korea selected, the settled list contains Universal Print Driver and Remote Print Driver, but no ordinary Printer Driver 2.60.00. Its x64 detail does not list ARM64. | Check each offered package’s exact model, CPU and functions. Do not install this x64 file solely because ARM64 appears in the OS menu. |
| Web installer / firmware | The combo installer 5.0 is a separate 2.41 MB download shell; firmware is another category. | For ordinary PC printing, use the exact model/OS print-driver route. Firmware is not a routine substitute for a missing driver. |
The Mac file 35.1 MB was checked on 8 October 2026: its list names OS X 10.6.x–10.12.x,10.14.x and Mac 12–15. That observation has not been refreshed by this Windows check. Omitted versions, Server, 32-bit, Linux and newer Mac conditions need their own exact file evidence. No installation, signature validation or physical printing was performed.
Windows 11 setup stalls
The WF-100 official support page links an installer-stall notice that includes this model and its 24H2-or-later FAQ. Record the Windows build, CPU, message and chosen package; compare the dated x64/ARM64 checks.
- Default driver choice. If choosing the Epson driver, check Default install printers using Windows Ready Print in Windows printer settings. When this option is present, Epson directs turning it off before reinstalling. Windows Ready Print differs from Epson’s ReadyPrint subscription.
- Separate protected mode. The default preference differs from Windows protected print mode. Epson’s setup guide requires protected mode off. It is a security feature restricting third-party drivers: compare Microsoft’s guidance and required features before choosing a path. Ask your administrator when policy controls it.
- Existing queue. Turning protected mode off does not convert a Ready Print queue to an Epson driver. If choosing Epson, first check ports/settings and pending/shared jobs, then remove only the WF-100 queue as instructed and reinstall through this model’s download guide. Use Location services only if its installer requests them.
Setup references checked 2026-11-02. The on-device USB basic driver is a separate limited route, not Windows Ready Print. Windows file checks retain 16 October; Mac, hardware and manual checks retain their individual dates below. This does not verify current package versions/CPU compatibility or successful installation/printing.
Built-in Windows basic driver: a separate route
Verified 2026-10-18: Korean guide NPD5127-07 KO, pp.12 and 27–29. This limited driver can be obtained from the printer when an internet download is unavailable; Epson recommends the standard driver.
- Disconnect USB, then select Menu → WF-100 Basic Driver on the printer.
- Connect micro USB only when the LCD requests it, then press OK.
- On the computer, open EPSON → SETUP and follow its instructions.
Basic driver settings and paper limits
| Setting | Check |
|---|---|
| Layout | Match orientation to the document. |
| Paper / Quality | Match the loaded media; choose colour or monochrome. |
| Size | Under Advanced, match paper size to the application. |
The basic-driver column on p.23 lists plain paper, Epson Premium Glossy and Epson Matte. Other media choices in the standard-driver column are not interchangeable with this limited list.
These manual steps do not establish modern Windows or ARM64 compatibility. Compare the existing x64 / ARM64 findings and the exact-model download guide before choosing software.

Connection and installation
- Check WF-100, OS/CPU/rights, charge, official AC adapter, Micro USB data cable, ink and paper. Preserve existing queues/ports/jobs. Do not disconnect AC during printing; no routine reset, firmware change or security disabling.
- General USB driver: leave USB disconnected until actual installer requests it, then connect Micro USB directly to PC. Select real WF-100 queue/port/media and test. Reboot only if installer asks. Built-in Windows basic driver is separate and limited: Menu / WF-100 Basic Driver, then connect only when printer requests it.
- Wireless: follow official installer with PC/printer on same approved accessible network. Menu / Network Settings / Wi-Fi Setup offers wizard/WPS/Direct settings. Use actual SSID/authentication; WPS only on a compatible router. Distinguish Direct, check actual network/queue/port; no Ethernet instructions.
- Charge with official AC adapter or manual USB procedure. PC must be on, not sleeping; direct USB, not hub. Printer off or asleep; inspect Menu / Battery / Battery Settings / USB Power Supply from PC if charging fails. Distinguish charging from printing settings. Charging environment10–35°C.
Print the panel nozzle pattern before choosing head cleaning
The Korean WF-100 guide describes a device-side pattern for faint output, bands or unexpected colours.
- Load A4 plain paper.
- On the home screen, open Menu → Maintenance → Nozzle Check (메뉴 → 유지보수 → 노즐 검사).
- Follow the LCD to print the pattern. If every line is complete, exit the check.
- For broken or missing lines, follow the LCD’s head-cleaning instructions, then print another pattern after cleaning finishes.
Cleaning uses ink and may be unavailable when ink is low. During cleaning, keep the inner cover closed and leave power on.
If about two check/clean cycles do not improve output, pause printing for at least six hours, then recheck and clean only if needed. The guide recommends powering off for this wait, using the power button after cleaning has finished. Persistent poor output needs Epson support.
For host-only failures, compare this exact model’s driver guide.

Paper feeding, W-01 and W-02: identify the location first
Before reaching inside: do not press panel buttons or touch protruding parts. Keep hands off the flat white cable and translucent part. Remove paper gently, including torn scraps; forcing it can damage the printer.
| Symptom / location | Check / action |
|---|---|
| No feed / loaded-paper error | Use a flat surface; connect the AC adapter if the battery is low. Reload supported paper upright, printable side up, against the right side; align the edge guide and panel size/type. |
| Several sheets feed | The Korean guide advises one sheet at a time. For manual two-sided multifeeding, remove all remaining sheets before reloading. |
| W-01: rear feed | Remove the jam from the rear feed following the LCD. Keep within the paper capacity. |
| W-02: inside | Open the inner cover, remove the jam and close the cover. After hands are clear and paper is removed, press OK as directed for W-01/W-02. |

Charge times, orange charge light and USB storage
For USB charging, the printer must be off or asleep. Keep the computer on and awake, and connect directly without a hub. Use the included micro USB cable and a compatible power source.
These are approximate US WF-100 guide values with power off at 25°C; they do not guarantee actual charging time.
| Power source | Approx. full charge |
|---|---|
| AC adapter | About 2.5 hours |
| USB 5V / 0.5A | About 10 hours |
| USB 5V / 1.5A | About 2.5 hours |
Times, currents and measurement conditions · Official AC connection steps
| State | Meaning / next check |
|---|---|
| Orange on | The battery is charging; identify the battery charging light. |
| Off after charging | The guide says this light turns off at full charge. An unlit light in every other context does not establish full charge. |
| Flashing charge light | Check whether it is too hot or cold to charge. The charging range is 10–35°C. |
| USB storage | USB mass-storage recognition during charging is documented. It does not establish that a print queue is installed. |

Three setup steps when the PC does not charge it
- Disconnect the USB cable.
- On the panel select Menu → Battery → Battery Settings → USB Power Supply via PC → On.
- Turn the printer off, then reconnect the USB cable.
This On setting addresses charging. Do not apply it as a general print-failure fix; compare the existing Korean-guide distinction between charging and printing settings. Charging versus printing settings
If it drains quickly after full charge, contact Epson about battery service; the guide states it is not user-replaceable. If only computer printing fails, use common host checks for the queue, connection and exact-model driver. WF-100 driver guidance

E-11 / W-11 versus E-12–E-14: ink pads and the box differ
Record the code first. The guide distinguishes the replaceable T2950 maintenance box from service-only ink pads; do not confuse the two repairs.
| LCD code | Meaning and next action |
|---|---|
| E-11 | Ink-pad replacement is required. Contact Epson or an authorized service centre; this is not user-replaceable. |
| W-11 | Ink pads are nearing end of life. OK can resume printing, but arrange pad replacement through service. |
| E-12 | The maintenance box is full. Turn off the printer and fit a new box. |
| E-13 | The box is absent or incorrectly fitted. Turn off the printer and install it correctly. |
| E-14 | The box is unrecognized. Turn off, refit it, then replace it if the message persists. |

Four checks when replacing T2950
The Korean guide p.57 and US WF-100 parts list identify T2950. LCD box levels are approximate; replace it when instructed.
- Prepare a new T2950 and its supplied bag. Turn the printer off and disconnect power, USB and other cables.
- Close the printer cover and turn it upside-down. Release the maintenance-cover tabs as illustrated in the official guide.
- Slide out the old box as illustrated; seal it in the supplied bag. Avoid the green chip and marked areas.
- Lower the new box into its holder, slide it into place and refit the cover. If it will not close, check the seating.
Do not remove or press the film, or seal the holes. Keep it out of direct sunlight. The US guide prohibits reuse after more than a week uninstalled.

If the color cartridge is empty, check the temporary black printing options.
Temporary black printing after color ink runs out
If printing stops when the color cartridge runs out and the computer offers temporary black printing, you can finish an urgent document on plain paper or an envelope. Replace the empty color cartridge as soon as you can.
- Windows: Keep Epson Status Monitor enabled. Cancel the stopped job and load plain paper or an envelope. In the Epson driver's Main tab, choose the matching paper type and Black/Grayscale. Send the job again and choose Print in Black when Status Monitor 3 prompts you. Epson’s Windows instructions
- Mac: In Epson’s documented OS X workflow, cancel the stopped job, open Options & Supplies for the WF-100, and turn on Permit temporary black printing. Choose the matching paper type and Grayscale in the app’s print settings and retry. Check whether your current print queue offers this option. Epson’s OS X instructions
If you cannot find the prompt or driver settings, use the WF-100 driver guide to check the selected printer and Epson driver. If the screen shows E-11 or E-12–E-14, see the ink pad and maintenance box instructions.
