Running a Printer Check
You can run a printer check to determine whether a problem comes from the printer
or some other source.
1. Turn off your printer and computer.
2. Disconnect the printer’s interface cable.
3. Load letter-size paper in the printer.
4. Hold down the paper button, then press and release the power button.
When printing starts, release both buttons.
A test page prints showing the printer’s ROM version number, an ink counter
code, and a nozzle check pattern. (If the pattern has gaps, you need to clean the
print head as described on page 73.)

Paper may be blocking movement of the print head. Turn off
the printer, then open the cover and remove any jammed paper
or other foreign objects. Turn the printer back on again. If the
lights are still on, contact your dealer or EPSON as described in
“Where To Get Help” on page 103.
