Epson S40600 Automatically prints error code

Hi all. I'm having an unusual problem. Upon start up, the printer will automatically print this code. After it finishes, it will continue to print another one. I've tried cancelling the job, but it will once again print on it's own after a minute or 2. I've disconnected the power and ethernet for more than 20 minutes, but didn't work.

When I disconnect the ethernet cable (which the printer is connected to a router), it will not automatically print. Once I reconnect the ethernet, it will print the code.

A technician says the printer is not the problem, and that it would either be a network or pc issue. I've closed onyx, and started the epson, still prints the codes. I've also rebooted the router.

Another thing that happens is the beeping/warning comes on more often prompting me to insert a media and to lock the roll, or to close the front cover. May be unrelated to the error code.

I've attached the image below. Thanks all.

Ahh it turns out the IP address was conflicting with other machines (never had a problem since). Changed the IP address on the printer and it's back to normal. Wonder how that happened...

Static ip address vs DHCP. All our printers & work stations use a static ip, the phone and other small stuff uses DHCP. After a power hit or outage the a DHCP device may take over the static before it can be properly claimed.
