Solving Operational Problems

If you can't turn the printer on, if it stops printing unexpectedly, or if
nothing prints, check the following:
Paper is loaded correctly.
•
The printer is plugged securely into a working electrical outlet that's not
•
controlled by a switch or timer.
The interface cable is securely connected to the printer and your system.
•
The voltage supplied by the electrical outlet matches the voltage on the
•
printer's rating label. If not, turn off the power and unplug the power
cord immediately. Contact Epson for assistance; see page 10 for details.
If none of these suggestions help, try the solutions below.
