The printer prints one page showing its ROM version
number, ink counter, and a nozzle check pattern. Only the
nozzle check pattern is shown below. (If the pattern has
gaps in its dots, you need to clean the print head; see
page 9.)
5. To end the check, turn off the printer after it prints the
check page. Then reconnect the interface cable and turn on
your printer and computer.
If the check page prints, the problem probably lies in your
software settings, the interface cable, or your computer.
If the check page doesn’t print, you may have a problem with
your printer.
Try the suggestions in “Problems and Solutions” in the Printer
Basics book.
Printing on Special Media
Whether you print on plain paper or special media, you need
to select the Media Type setting according to the guidelines in
the table below.
Additional Media Loading Guidelines
Don’t use the cleaning sheets that may be included with
your special media; they may damage the printer.
❏ Be sure to load the printable (whiter) side of the media face
up in the sheet feeder.
❏ You can load paper up to the arrow mark on the left edge
guide.
❏ In addition to the
Media Type option, remember to select
the correct
Paper Size for your media in the printer
software.
❏ If the special media has protective sheets between each sheet
of media, be sure to remove the protective sheets before
printing.
❏ Some special media have a cut corner that you need to
position correctly; follow any instructions in the package.
Always handle sheets by the edges, and don’t touch the
printable surface.
Replacing an Ink Cartridge
When the
B black or
A color ink out light flashes, the
indicated cartridge is low on ink. This is a good time to make
sure you have a new cartridge. When the light stays on, the
cartridge is empty and you need to replace it.
You cannot print if either ink cartridge is empty. Leave
the empty cartridge installed in the printer until you have
obtained a replacement. Otherwise the ink remaining in
the print head nozzles may dry out.
Use these EPSON ink cartridges within six months of
installing them and before the expiration date on the package:
❏ Black ink cartridge: S020189
❏ Color ink cartridge: S020191
