You can diagnose some problems by checking the printer’s
control panel lights, as described below, or running a printer
check, as described on page 4.
Installing Ink Cartridges for the First
Time
Follow these ink cartridge precautions and the others in your
Printer Basics book:
Use the cartridges packed with your printer the first
time you install ink cartridges or your printer won’t
charge properly.
Install both ink cartridges, and leave them installed for
all types of printing, or the printer won’t work.
Remove the yellow tape seal from the ink cartridges or
you’ll permanently damage them. Don’t remove the
clear seals from the bottom or ink will leak out.
Don’t touch the green chips on the cartridges. This
prevents normal operation and printing.
Never turn off the printer when the
Ppower light is
flashing, unless the printer hasn’t moved or made any
noise for more than 5 minutes.
Keep ink cartridges out of the reach of children and do
not drink the ink.
If ink gets on your hands, wash them thoroughly with
soap and water. If ink gets in your eyes, flush them
thoroughly with water.
1. Plug in the printer and press the
P
power button to turn
it on.
2. Lower the printer’s output tray and open the cover.
3. Lift up the two ink cartridge clamps.
P
is on The
P
power light is on when the printer is ready to print.
It flashes when the printer is receiving a print job, charging
ink, or cleaning the print head.
b
is on When the
b
error light is on, paper is out or loaded
incorrectly, or you have a paper jam. If necessary, load or
reload paper and press the
b
maintenance button. If
paper is jammed, press the
b
maintenance button to try
to clear the jam. If that doesn’t work, turn off the printer
and gently pull out all the paper. Turn on the printer and
press the
b
maintenance button to resume printing.
When the
b
error light is on and your paper is loaded
correctly and not jammed, you need to replace an ink
cartridge. Determine which cartridge is out of ink and
replace the cartridge as described on page 6.
b
flashes When the
b
error light flashes, your ink supply is low.
Determine which cartridge is low as described on page 7
and make sure you have a replacement cartridge.
P
is off
and
b
is on
When the
P
power light is off and the
b
error light is on,
jammed paper may be blocking movement of the print
head. Turn off the printer, open the cover, and check
inside for any jammed paper. Then turn the printer back
on. If the lights are still in the same state, contact your
dealer or EPSON.
P
and
b
flash
When both lights flash as you’re replacing an ink cartridge,
the flash pattern indicates which cartridge is low on ink, as
described on page 7.
If you’re not replacing ink but both lights are flashing, your
printer may have an internal error. Turn off the printer,
wait a few seconds, and turn it on again. If the lights still
flash, contact your dealer or EPSON.
P
and
b
are off
When both lights are off, the printer is not receiving
power. Try these solutions:
❏
Make sure the printer is turned on.
❏
Turn off the printer, plug in the power cord securely,
and turn on the printer again.
❏
Make sure the outlet is operable and is not controlled
by a switch or timer. If in doubt, try using another
outlet.
