Testing the Printer
You can run a printer check to determine whether a problem comes from the printer itself or some other source. Follow these steps to run the printer check:
1.Make sure both the printer and computer are turned off.2.Disconnect the interface cable from the printer.3.Make sure paper is loaded in the printer.4.Hold down the E load/eject button, then press and release the Ppower button. Continue holding down the
E load/eject button until the Ppower light starts to flash, then release it.The printer prints one page showing its ROM version number, ink counter, and a nozzle check pattern. Only the nozzle check pattern is shown below. (If the pattern has gaps in its dots, you need to clean the print head; see page 9.)

5.Insert both ink cartridges with the labels facing up as shown. Press down the clamps until they lock into place, but don’t press down on the ink cartridges.
6. Press the R cleaning button and close the printer cover.Ink charging takes about two minutes, with the P power light flashing and the printer making noise until it’s finished.
Don’t turn off the printer or interrupt charging or it will start over, using more ink than necessary. It’s finished when the
Ppower light stops flashing.5.To end the check, turn off the printer after it prints the check page. Then reconnect the interface cable and turn on your printer and computer.
If the check page prints, the problem probably lies in your software settings, the interface cable, or your computer.
If the check page doesn’t print, you may have a problem with your printer.Try the suggestions in “Problems and Solutions” in the Printer Basics book.8/99 | EPSON Stylus COLOR 760 - 5 |
