Printing the Self Test
If the Self Test Doesn’t Print
The most likely cause of a failed test is either a problem with the
print head or a mistake in the SelecType panel settings. If the self
test does not print properly, check the points below.
l If the paper jams, the display reads PJ. If you see this message,
turn off the printer and remove the paper jam according to the
section on clearing a paper jam in Chapter 6. Then load the
paper again, as described earlier in this chapter.
l If the printer does not print or stops printing and the display
reads IE, the ink cartridge may not be installed or may be
installed incorrectly. Reinstall the cartridge as described earlier
in this chapter.
l
If the display reads 81 but nothing prints, you may not have
pressed the SET button hard enough. Press SET again. The
printer beeps as you press this button.
l
If the printer cover is open, the printer cannot print. Close the
printer cover.
l
If the print is faint or uneven, the ink delivery system may not
be charged with ink. Follow the steps under Charging the Ink
Delivery System earlier in this chapter. If you have charged the
printer, follow the cleaning procedure described in Chapter 5.
l
If the printout has a blurred appearance, you may be printing on
the wrong side of the paper or you may be using the wrong type
of paper. Try the other side of the paper; then, if necessary, see
Chapter 3 for information on choosing paper.
If you’ve checked all the points mentioned above and the printer
still does not print the self test correctly, contact your Epson dealer
for assistance.
