How To Fix Epson Printer not activated Error Code 20
ou must first make sure that the EPSON printer is actually working before you start 
resolving the error. You can print a self-test page to do this and check the USB connectivity 
from the printer to your computer once you have done that. Once you have completed 
these tasks successfully, these methods can then be applied to resolve the error.
Step 1 – Make Sure The Printer You Are Using Is Set As The Default Printer
The reason you should do this is because there may be the same problem in the future 
when you try to print a document out. You should always make sure that it is set as the 
default printer if you buy another printer.
1.       Click Start > Fax and Printer.
2.       Look through the Printers folder and proceed to Step 2 if you don’t have the desired 
printer icon.
3.       However, if there is the desired icon, see if it has next to it a check mark. This 
means the default printer is set.
4.       If there is no check mark, right-click the printer and click the option Set as Default 
Printer.
5.       To print a Windows self-test page, right-click the printer and select the Print Test 
Page.
6.       Exit the printer folder if the page prints successfully and try to print a word 
document.
Step 2 – Reinstall The USB Composite Device
Reinstalling the USB device would just like to start over with a so-called’ 
new’ printer. Reinstalling the device could be just what it needs to function 
properly. Follow these steps to do this: 1. Right-click and select Properties 
from My Computer.
2.       Click the tab Hardware and click Device Manager 3.           Double-
click Universal Serial Bus Controllers in the Device Manager window.
4.       Right-click Device Composite USB, select Uninstall and click OK. 5. 
Disconnect and reconnect the USB cable from your PC.
6.       Follow the on-screen instructions in the Found New Hardware Wizard 
to install the drivers.
7.       To open the Printers folder, click Start, then select Printer and Faxes.
8.       Find your EPSON printer icon and then click Print Test Page to print a 
self-test page.
9.       Close all windows and try to print out a document if the self-test 
page prints successfully.
Step 3 – Uninstall And Reinstall The EPSON Software
If the following steps do not resolve the 
unactivated Epson Printer Error Code 20, then 
the EPSON printer software should be 
uninstalled and reinstalled. You should use the 
Add / Remove Programs utility built in to do 
this.
Step 4 – Clean Out The Registry
One of EPSON Printer Error 20’s biggest causes is due to corrupt 
or damaged parts of the’ registry’ that prevent your computer 
from using the printer. The registry is a Windows system 
database that stores vital settings and files that need to be run 
by your computer and software. It needs to read many registry 
settings every time you use your software to help run it, but 
unfortunately, many of these settings get damaged and 
corrupted, making it difficult for Windows to read them. To fix 
this, use a’ registry cleaner’ program to clean the registry.
