Don’t place the cartridges under the holder clamp hooks; you may damage the clamp when you close it.

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.

2.Disconnect the interface cable from the printer.

3.Make sure letter-size or larger paper is loaded in the printer.

4. Hold down the maintenance button, then press and release the power button. Continue holding down the maintenance button until the power light starts to

flash, then release it.

The printer prints one page showing its ROM version number, ink counter, and a nozzle check pattern. (If the pattern has gaps in its dots, you need to clean the print head; see page 8.)

5.To end the check, turn off the printer after it prints the check page. Then reconnect the interface cable and turn on your printer and computer.

If the check page prints, the problem probably lies in your software settings, the interface cable, or your computer.

If the check page doesn’t print, you may have a problem with your printer. Try the suggestions in the Printer Basics book. If nothing seems to work, contact your dealer or EPSON.
