If you can’t turn the printer on, if it stops printing unexpectedly, or if nothing prints, check the following:
• The printer is turned on.
• Paper is loaded in the printer.
• The printer is plugged securely into a working electrical outlet that’s not controlled by a switch or timer.
• The interface cable is securely connected to the printer and your system.
• The voltage supplied by the electrical outlet matches the voltage on the printer’s rating label. If not, turn off the power and unplug the power cord immediately. Contact Epson for assistance. (See page 11 for details.)
