Running a Printer Check
You can run a printer check to determine whether a problem

3. Hold down the

paper button, then press and release the
P
power button. Continue holding down the
)
paper
button until the green
P
power light starts to flash, then
release it.
The printer prints a nozzle check pattern. (If the pattern has
gaps, you need to clean the print head; see page 7.)
4. Turn off the printer after it prints the check page. Then
reconnect the cable and turn on your printer and computer.
❏
If the check page prints, the problem probably lies in
your software settings, the USB cable, or your
computer. It’s also possible that your software may not
be installed correctly. See your
Start Here
sheet for
instructions on reinstalling the printer software.
❏
If the check page doesn’t print, you may have a
problem with your printer. Try the suggestions in
your
Quick Guide
or on-screen
User’s Guide
. If nothing
works, contact your dealer or Epson as described on
your
Start Here
sheet.
Selecting the Correct Paper Type
Your printer automatically adjusts itself for the type of paper
you select in your print settings. That’s why the paper Type
setting is so important. It tells your printer what kind of paper
you’re using and adjusts the ink coverage accordingly. The
table below lists the settings you should choose for your paper:
