286 Troubleshooting
Completely blank pages are output
Cause What to do
The printer may have loaded 
more than one sheet at a time.
Remove the paper stack and fan it. Tap 
it on a flat surface to even the edges, then 
reload the paper.
There may be no toner left in 
the toner cartridge.
If the message on the LCD panel or in the 
EPSON Status Monitor 3 indicates that 
the amount of toner is low, see 
“Replacing a toner cartridge” on page 
227.
The problem may be with your 
application or interface cable.
Print out a status sheet. See “Printing a 
Status Sheet” on page 276. If a blank 
page is ejected, the problem may be with 
the printer. Turn off the printer and 
contact your dealer.
The Paper Size setting may be 
incorrect.
Make sure the correct paper size is set in 
the Tray Menu on the control panel.
There may be a problem with 
the 
photoconductor unit.
Replace the 
photoconductor unit. See 
“Photoconductor Unit” on page 231.
MP Tray Size setting may be 
incorrect.
When loading paper for which the size 
is not specified with Auto setting, 
specify the correct paper size on the MP 
Tray Size setting in the Tray Menu on the 
control panel.
