Problems and Solutions

Here are some troubleshooting tips if you have any problems setting up your printer,
installing software, or printing.
Problems Setting Up
the Printer or Installing
Software
The printer makes noise after ink
cartridge installation.
■
The first time you install ink
cartridges, the printer must charge
its ink delivery system for about
two minutes. Wait until charging
finishes (the Ppower light stops
flashing) before you turn off
the printer or it may charge
improperly and use excess ink the
next time you turn it on. If the
printer stops moving or making
noise, but the P power light is still
flashing after 5 minutes, turn off
the printer. If the light is still
flashing when you turn it back on,
contact EPSON as described on
page 29.
■
Make sure the ink cartridge clamps
are locked down completely and
no packing material remains in the
printer. Turn off the printer, wait
a moment, then turn it back on to
clear the error.
