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

The 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 a print head.

When 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, making sure it is placed against the right edge guide and the left edge guide is slid over to the paper’s left edge. Then press the load/eject button.

When the paper out light flashes, paper is jammed in the printer. 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 stack, making sure it is placed against the right edge guide and the left edge guide is slid over to the paper’s left edge. Then turn the printer back on.

replacement cartridge.

 

When an ink out light comes on, you need to replace the ink cartridge. See page 24 for instructions.

When the power and paper out lights flash and the black or color ink out lights come on, jammed paper may be blocking movement of the print head. Turn off the printer by pressing the power button, wait 15 seconds, then turn it on again. If no paper ejects, turn off the printer, remove the jammed paper, and turn the printer on again. If this does not clear the error condition, contact EPSON as described on page 41.

When all the lights flash, your printer may have an internal error. Turn off the printer by pressing the power button, wait 15 seconds, then turn it on again. If this does not clear the error condition, contact EPSON as described on page 41.

■Make sure the printer is turned on.

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

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