Diagnosing Problems
The Epson Stylus Pro 4880 includes a number of ways to help you diagnose problems:
•To identify the most common problems, check the messages and lights on the control panel. See pages 126 through 130 for more information.
•If you’re using the Epson printer driver and Status Monitor utility, check your software for error messages. See Chapter 4 or 5 for more information.
•To determine whether the problem is caused by the printer itself, disconnect the printer from your computer and run a nozzle check from the control panel. See page 97 for instructions.
•If none of the suggested solutions in this chapter solve your problem, contact Epson as described under “Where To Get Help” on page 10.
