7Solving Problems

This chapter gives you the basics for diagnosing and solving problems with your EPSON Stylus Scan.

note:

It’s a good idea to

check EPSON’s web site periodically for possible updates to your drivers. Visit http://support.epson.com and check the section for your product to see if there is a new driver available, free of charge, for downloading to your computer. Download instructions are posted for your convenience.

First see “Diagnosing Problems” to help determine what the cause of the problem may be.

Then see “Problems and Solutions” on page 137 for solutions to common setup and software problems.

Diagnosing Problems

You can diagnose most problems by checking the LCD panel for a message. The Error light may also flash or come on.

If a problem occurs while you’re printing, you’ll see an error message in the progress window on your computer (Windows only). It may also be helpful to try running a printer check; see page 135 for instructions.
