Diagnosing Problems

The printer 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 176 through 182 for more information.
If you’re using the Epson printer driver and Status Monitor utility,
check your software for error messages. See page 151 for more
information.
To determine whether the problem is caused by the printer itself, print a
status sheet from the control panel. See page 149 for instructions.
Review the FAQs at www.proimaging.epson.com for possible solutions.
If none of the suggested solutions in this chapter solve your problem,
contact Epson as described under “Where To Get Help” on page13.
