Problem Solving

This section gives you the basics for diagnosing and solving printer problems.

First see “Diagnosing Printer Problems” below to determine the problem’s cause.

Then see “Problems and Solutions” on page 40 for solutions to problems.

It’s a good idea to check EPSON’s web site periodically for possible updates to your printer driver. Visit www.epson.com and check the section for your product to see if there is a new driver available for downloading to your computer. Also check the FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions) for additional tips on using your printer software.
