      If your Epson printer isn't communicating with your computer, first, ensure the interface cable is securely connected to both the printer and the computer. If the printer icon isn't displayed in the Devices and Printers/Printers/Printers and Faxes folder, install the printer driver. Also, verify that the interface cable specifications match those for both the printer and the computer.

    Why is the printed surface scuffed on my Epson SC-T3160?
    • C
      Caleb PadillaSep 18, 2025
      If the printed surface is scuffed or soiled, check the print settings to ensure the size of the loaded paper matches the printer driver settings for Original Size or Paper Size. Also, make sure that the paper specifications are compatible with your Epson printer, as using paper that is too thick or too thin can cause this issue.

      If you are experiencing vertical color unevenness when printing from the auto sheet feeder, increase the ink density on the printer driver Advanced screen, because the Color Density setting is not appropriate. Also, try cleaning the rollers.
