Testing the Printer
You can run a printer check to determine whether a problem
comes from the printer itself or some other source.
1. Make sure both the printer and computer are turned off.
Then disconnect the USB cable from the printer.
2. Make sure letter-size or larger paper is loaded in the printer.
3. Hold down the
b maintenance button, then press and
release the
Ppower button. Continue holding down the
b maintenance button until the
P power light starts
to flash, then release it.
The printer prints one page showing its ROM version
number and a nozzle check pattern. (If the pattern has gaps
in its dots, you need to clean the print head; see page 6.)
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, interface cable, or computer.
Your software may not be installed correctly.
❏ If the check page doesn’t print, you may have a problem
with your printer. Try the suggestions in the electronic
Reference Guide on the printer software CD-ROM. If
nothing works, contact your dealer or EPSON.
Printing on Special Media
Select the Media Type setting according to the guidelines in
the table below.
Additional Media Loading Guidelines
Don’t use the cleaning sheets that may be included with
your special media; they may damage the printer.
❏ Always load paper short edge first, even when printing
landscape-oriented pictures.
❏ Always handle sheets by the edges, and don’t touch the
printable surface.
❏ Be sure to load the printable (whiter) side of the media face
up in the sheet feeder.
❏ You can load paper up to the tab on the right edge guide.
❏ In addition to the
Media
Type
setting, remember to select
the correct
Paper
Size
for your media in the printer
software.
❏ If the special media has protective sheets between each sheet
of media, be sure to remove the protective sheets before
printing.
❏ Some special media have a cut corner that you need to
position in the upper right corner when you load it.
❏ You can load the following number of sheets of EPSON
