Running a Printer Check

You can run a printer check to determine whether a problem comes from the printer

itself or some other source. Follow these steps:

1. Make sure both the printer and computer are turned off.

2. Disconnect the interface cable from the printer.

3. Make sure letter-size or larger paper is loaded in the printer.

4. Hold down the

E load/eject button, then press and release the

Ppower button.

Continue holding down the

E load/eject button until the

Ppower light starts to

flash, then release it.

The printer prints a page showing its ROM version number, ink counter, and a

nozzle check pattern. Only the nozzle check pattern is shown below. (If the

pattern has gaps or missing dots, you need to clean the print head; see page 37.)

5. To end the check, turn off the printer after it prints the check page. Then

reconnect the interface cable and turn on your printer and computer.

If the check page prints, the problem probably lies in your software settings, the

interface cable, or your computer.

If the check page doesn’t print, you may have a problem with your printer.

Try the suggestions in “Problems and Solutions” beginning on page 51. If nothing

seems to work, contact your dealer or EPSON as described on page 59.
