What to do if my Epson Stylus Color 980 shows 'Ink low (color ink cartridge)'?
If your Epson Printer indicates that the color ink cartridge is low, it means the color ink cartridge is nearly empty. Obtain a replacement color ink cartridge (T005).
Why is my Epson Printer producing blurry or smeared printouts?
If your Epson Printer is producing blurry or smeared printouts, ensure your paper is dry and the printable side is facing up. Select Automatic as the Mode setting in your printer driver. If the paper is curled, flatten it or curl it slightly toward the opposite side. Set the adjust lever to the '+' position and ensure the Media Type setting is correct. Remove each sheet from the output tray as it is printed, especially with transparencies. When printing on glossy media or transparencies, place a support sheet beneath the stack. You may also run the Head Cleaning and Print Head Alignment utilities. Ink may have leaked inside the printer, so wipe it with a soft, clean cloth.
Why are the colors incorrect or missing on my Epson Printer?
If colors are incorrect or missing when printing with your Epson Printer, change the Ink setting in your printer driver to Color. You can also adjust the color settings in your application or printer driver. Try running the Head Cleaning utility. If colors are still incorrect or missing, replace the color ink cartridge; if the problem persists, replace the black ink cartridge.
What to do if my Epson Printer has color gaps in printouts?
If you notice color gaps when printing with your Epson Printer, make sure your paper is not damaged, dirty, or too old. Try running the Head Cleaning utility to clear any clogged ink nozzles. Check the B black and A color ink out lights; if one is flashing, replace the appropriate ink cartridge. You might also need to adjust the color settings in your application or printer driver, and select Automatic as the Mode setting in your printer driver.
What to do if my Epson Stylus Color 980 says 'Paper Jam Error'?
If your Epson printer displays a 'Paper Jam Error', it could be due to several reasons. The paper you are using might be longer than what the printer supports, so ensure you're using the correct size. Dust on the encoder at the back of the carriage can also cause this, so try cleaning it. Also, the PE sensor might be covered with paper debris or dust; clean it to ensure it is free of obstructions. The PE sensor actuator may not be acting properly or the sensor base may not be fixed properly, so check the PE sensor actuator and ensure it is securely fixed. Make sure that the ASF and paper load sub roller are installed correctly. Finally, test and replace defective components as necessary.
