You can often diagnose problems with your product by checking the messages on the LCD screen.

LCD screen message Condition/solution
Change paper settings

Paper setting in the printer driver is different from paper information registered in the printer. Change paper setting from the application or the driver.

For details, see your documentation.

To change paper information that was registered using Epson Media Installer, load the paper and then use the control panel.

You can also use Epson Media Installer to change paper information for paper that has not been loaded.

Depending on the version of Epson Media Installer you are using, you may not be able to change the paper information.

Check the media settings on the driver to determine which media is being used. To change the media, select Paper Setting > paper source > Change Paper type > Paper Type, and select the media that matches the driver setting.

You can also select Use Printer Settings when you select the media, which will default to the paper that is set on the LCD screen.
