Solving Problems

If you have a problem with your printer, check the lights on the printer to

diagnose the cause.

You can also check “Problems and Solutions” on page26 for basic troubleshooting

suggestions, or see the on-screen Epson Information Center for more detailed help.

Checking for Software Updates

Periodically, it’s a good idea to check Epson’s support website for free updates to

your Artisan 50 Series software. Open your on-screen Epson Information Center

and select Download the Latest Software or visit Epson’s support website at

epson.com/support (U.S.) or epson.ca (Canada).

With Windows, you can select Driver Update on the Maintenance tab in the

printer settings window. You can also click or Start, select All Programs or

Programs, select EPSON, select EPSON Artisan 50 Series, and click Driver

Update.
