Problem Solving

This section gives you the basics for diagnosing and solving printer problems.

First see “Diagnosing Printer Problems” to help determine what the cause of the problem may be.

Then see “Problems and Solutions” on page 53 for solutions to common setup and software problems.

It’s a good idea to check EPSON’s web site periodically for possible updates to your printer driver. Visit www.epson.com and check the section for your product to see if there is a new driver available for downloading to your computer.

Diagnosing Printer Problems

You can diagnose some problems by checking the printer’s control panel lights, as described below, or running a printer check, as described on page 51.
