Problems and Solutions

Here are some basic troubleshooting tips if you have any problems setting up your EPSON Stylus Scan, installing software, printing, scanning, or copying, or getting good print and scan quality.

Since copying involves both printing and scanning, look for copy problems in both “Solving Problems with Printing and Copying” on page 140 and “Solving Problems with Scanning and Copying” on page 143.

Make sure the power cord is securely plugged into the power outlet and the EPSON Stylus Scan is turned on. Also, check that the outlet is working and provides sufficient power.

The printer started making noise after you installed the ink cartridges.

■The first time you install ink cartridges, the printer must charge its ink delivery system for a few minutes. Please wait until charging is finished (the Operate light stops flashing) before you turn off the printer. Otherwise, you will waste ink.

■Make sure the ink cartridge clamps are locked down completely and that no packing material remains in the printer.
