Testing the Printer
You can run a printer check to determine whether a problem
comes from the printer itself or some other source.
1. Make sure both the printer and computer are turned off.
Then disconnect the interface cable from the printer.
2. Make sure letter-size or larger plain paper is loaded in the
printer.
3. Hold down the b maintenance button, then press and
release the Ppower button. Continue holding down the
b maintenance button until the green P power light starts
to flash, then release it.
The printer prints a nozzle check pattern. (If the pattern has
white lines, you need to clean the print head; see page 7.)
4. Turn off the printer after it prints the check page. Then
reconnect the cable and turn on your printer and computer.
❏
If the check page prints, the problem probably lies in
your software settings, interface cable, or computer.
Your software may not be installed correctly.
❏
If the check page doesn’t print, you may have a problem
with your printer. Try the suggestions in the Printer
Basics book. If nothing works, contact your dealer or
EPSON.
