Running a
printer check helps you determine if the printer is operating
properly.
Turn off
the printer.
Disconnect any connected interface cables.
Load
plain paper.
Hold
down the ink button as you press the
power button to turn the
printer back on. Hold down both buttons until the power light begins to flash,
then release the buttons.
The printer begins printing a nozzle check pattern.
Do the
following, depending on the results of the printer check:
If the page
prints and the nozzle check pattern is complete, the printer is
operating properly. Any printing problem you may have could be
caused by your computer, cable, software, or selected print
settings. Check the other solutions in this section or try
uninstalling and reinstalling your printer software.
If the page
prints but the nozzle check pattern has gaps, clean or align the
print head.
If the page
does not print, the printer may have a problem. Check the other
solutions in this book. If they do not work, contact Epson.
