Follow these guidelines when you check the control panel lights.

P is on

The Ppower light is on when the printer is on and

 

ready to print. It flashes when the printer is

 

receiving a print job, charging ink, or cleaning the

 

print head.

 

 

S flashes

When the S paper out light flashes, you have a

 

paper jam. Press the S load/eject button to try to

 

clear the jam. If that doesn’t work, turn off the

 

printer and gently pull out all the paper. Make sure

 

none of the sheets are curled, creased, old, stuck

 

together, or too thin. Then reload the paper against

 

the right edge guide and slide the left edge guide

 

against it. Turn on the printer and press the

 

S load/eject button to resume printing.

 

 

S is on

When the S paper out light comes on, your paper

 

is out or incorrectly loaded. Make sure none of the

 

sheets are curled, creased, old, stuck together, or

 

too thin. Then reload the paper against the right

 

edge guide and slide the left edge guide against it.

 

Press the S load/eject button to resume printing.

 

 

B or A flash

When an ink out light flashes, your ink supply is

 

low. Make sure you have a replacement cartridge.

 

 

B or A are on

When an ink out light comes on, you need to

 

replace the ink cartridge. Make sure you have a

 

replacement cartridge. See page 6 for instructions.

Turn off the printer, open the cover, and check

sheet in your printer box. Then turn off the printer,

 

wait a few seconds, and turn it on again. If the

 

lights still flash, contact your dealer or EPSON.

 

 

Follow these ink cartridge precautions:

Install both ink cartridges, and leave them installed for all types of printing, or the printer won’t work.

Remove the yellow tape seal from the top of the ink cartridges or you’ll permanently damage them. Don’t remove the clear seals on the bottom or ink will leak out.

Don’t open an ink cartridge clamp to remove a cartridge except to replace it with a new one. Once you remove a cartridge, you can’t reuse it, even if it contains ink.

Never turn off the printer when the P power light is flashing, unless the printer hasn’t moved or made any noise for more than five minutes.

Keep ink cartridges out of the reach of children and don’t drink the ink.

If ink gets on your hands, wash them thoroughly with soap and water. If ink gets in your eyes, flush them immediately with water.

1.Lower the output tray and open the printer cover.

2.Press the P power button to turn on the printer. The

P power light flashes and the B black and A color ink out lights come on. The ink cartridge holders move left into loading position.

Don’t use an outlet that is controlled by a wall switch or timer, or one on the same circuit as a large appliance, to avoid damaging the printer’s power supply.

Always use the P power button to turn the printer on or off. Never use an external switch, such as a power strip switch.
