The four lights on your printer’s control panel show the printer’s status and alert you to problems like paper jams.

PThe power light is on when the printer is on and ready to print. The power light flashes when the printer is receiving a print job or performing a maintenance operation such as cleaning the print head.

Bor A When an ink out light flashes, your ink supply is low. Make sure you have a replacement cartridge.

When an ink out light comes on, you need to replace the ink cartridge. See “Replacing an Ink Cartridge” for instructions.

SWhen the paper out light comes on, your paper ran out or is incorrectly loaded. Make sure none of the sheets are curled, creased, old, stuck together, or too thin. Reload the paper against the right edge guide and slide the left edge guide over to the paper’s left edge. Then press the E load/eject button.

When the paper out light flashes, you have a paper jam. Turn off the printer and gently pull out all paper. Make sure none of the sheets are curled, creased, old, stuck together, or too thin. Reload the paper against the right edge guide and slide the left edge guide over to the paper’s left edge. Then turn the printer on.

P S B A When the Ppower and S paper out buttons flash and the B black and A color ink out lights come on, jammed paper may be blocking movement of the print head. Turn off the printer (press the P power button); wait 15 seconds; then turn it on again. If this does not clear the error, contact your dealer or EPSON as described in the Printer Basics book.

When all the lights flash, your printer may have an internal error. Turn off the printer (press the P power button); wait 15 seconds; then turn it on again. If this does not clear the error, contact your dealer or EPSON as described in the Printer Basics book.

When all the lights are off, the printer is not receiving power. Try these solutions:

❏Make sure the printer is turned on.

❏Turn off the printer, plug in the power cord securely, and turn on the printer.

❏Make sure the outlet is not controlled by a switch or timer and is operable.
