have to leave the cover open.
Once the cartridge is installed, the printer returns to its
READY state (or says LOAD PAPER if paper isn’t loaded).
Paper Type and Banding
Banding can be caused by several problems, such as clogged
print head nozzles or a misaligned print head. It can also be
caused by using a paper that is not defined in the Epson
printer driver or in a third-party RIP. To correct this problem,
make sure you select the correct paper type in the driver.
If your paper type is not defined, use the printer’s SelecType
menu system to create a custom paper type. See “Optimizing
the Settings for Your Paper” in the Printer Guide.
Running a Nozzle Check and Cleaning
Cycle
If your printed image is unexpectedly faint or dots are missing
from the printout, you should check the print head to see if
any nozzles are clogged.
You can check the print head and turn on the Auto Cleaning
feature at the same time, using your printer utility software.
This enables the printer to print a nozzle check pattern, read
it, and automatically run a cleaning cycle if necessary.
1. Make sure paper is loaded in the paper tray.
