Epson ColorWorks C8000 Large Batch Printing Issue Resolved Leave a comment

Last year, Epson found that some CW-C8000 printers pause or stop printing when processing very large batch files, especially jobs over 600 labels. Epson has addressed this issue by releasing updated firmware and a Windows driver update.

Issue Description

Some users experienced problems during large print jobs where the printer would stop printing due to memory-related issues.

This was most noticeable during larger batch printing jobs, not typical smaller print runs.

How to Resolve

Epson released two updates that work together to resolve the issue:

1. Firmware Update

Epson has released a new firmware (version SJ13Q3), which resolves the large-batch printing issue.

2. Windows Driver Update

In April 2026, Epson released a new Windows driver (version 1.3.0.0), which fully resolved the issue by fixing a memory-related problem that could stop printing from continuing.

What actions should be taken?

If your C8000 printer pauses, stops, or fails during large label runs, you should install the latest available firmware and Windows driver.

These updates are often installed during a new printer setup, but existing users may need to download and install them manually.

Where to find the updates

Current Epson ColorWorks C8000 drivers, firmware, utilities, and documentation are available through Epson’s official setup and support page:
