EPSON Stylus C62

Testing the Printer

You can run a printer check to determine whether a problem comes from the printer itself or some other source.

1.Make sure both the printer and computer are turned off. Then disconnect the interface cable from the printer.

2.Make sure letter-size or larger plain paper is loaded in the printer.

3.Hold down the b maintenance button, then press and release the Ppower button. Continue holding down the b maintenance button until the green P power light starts to flash, then release it.

The printer prints a nozzle check pattern. (If the pattern has white lines, you need to clean the print head; see page 7.)

4.Turn off the printer after it prints the check page. Then reconnect the cable and turn on your printer and computer.

❏If the check page prints, the problem probably lies in your software settings, interface cable, or computer. Your software may not be installed correctly.

❏If the check page doesn’t print, you may have a problem with your printer. Try the suggestions in the Printer Basics book. If nothing works, contact your dealer or

EPSON.

Additional Paper Loading Guidelines

Don’t use the cleaning sheets that may be included with your special media; they may damage the printer.

❏Always load paper short edge first, even when printing landscape-oriented pictures.

❏Always handle sheets by the edges, and don’t touch the printable surface.

❏Be sure to load the printable (whiter or glossier) side of the paper face up in the sheet feeder.

❏You can load paper up to the arrow inside the left edge guide.

❏In addition to the Type (Windows) or Media Type (Macintosh) setting, remember to select the correct Size (Windows) or Paper Size (Macintosh) for your media in the printer software.

❏If there are protective sheets between the sheets of paper or film, be sure to remove the protective sheets before printing.

❏Some special media have a cut corner that you need to position on the upper right.

❏You can load the following number of sheets of EPSON special media:
