Running a Printer Check

You may need to run a printer check to see if 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 printer cable from the printer.

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

3.Turn on the printer.

4.Press the ( Maintenance button.

5.Press to highlight More Options, then press OK.

6.Press or to highlight Nozzle Check, then press OK.

7.Press OK to print the nozzle check.

8.The printer prints a page showing a nozzle check pattern. (If the pattern has gaps, you need to clean the print head; see page 50.)

■If the check page printed, the problem probably lies in your memory card, software settings, interface cable, or computer, or your software may not be installed correctly.

■If the check page did not print, you may have a problem with your printer. Try the suggestions in “Setup or Software Installation Problems” beginning on page 63. If nothing works, contact your dealer or Epson as described on page 73.

9.After examining the check page, remember to turn off the printer and reconnect its cable to your computer.
