Troubleshooting
What to do
Turn off the printer. Clean the paper
path inside the printer using a soft,
dry cloth.
Clean internal printer components by
printing three pages with only one
character per page. If this does not
solve the problem, there may be a
problem with the photoconductor
unit. Replace the photoconductor
unit. See "Replacing the
photoconductor unit" on page 7-14.
If the surface of your paper is too
rough, printed characters may appear
distorted or broken. EPSON special
paper, or smooth-high-quality copier
paper is recommended for best
results. See Chapter 3 "Paper
Handling", for information on
choosing paper.
