Running A Printer Check; Selecting The Correct Paper Type - Epson Stylus C66 Specification Sheet

5. Lower each ink cartridge down into its holder with the
green circuit board facing the front. Then gently push each
ink cartridge down until it is firmly seated.
The color of the cartridge label should match the marker on
the holder.
6. Close the cartridge cover.
7. Press the H ink button and close the printer cover.
The green P power light flashes as your printer charges ink
for several seconds.
Caution:
Don't turn off the printer while the green P power light is
flashing, unless the printer hasn't moved or made noise for
more than 5 minutes.

Running a Printer Check

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 USB cable from the printer.
2. Make sure letter-size plain paper is loaded in the printer.
3. Hold down the ) paper button, then press and release the
P power button. Continue holding down the ) paper
button until the green P power light starts to flash, then
release it.
The printer prints a nozzle check pattern. (If the pattern has
gaps, 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, the USB cable, or your
computer. It's also possible that your software may not
be installed correctly. See your Start Here sheet for
instructions on reinstalling the printer software.
❏ If the check page doesn't print, you may have a
problem with your printer. Try the suggestions in
your Quick Guide or on-screen User's Guide. If nothing
works, contact your dealer or Epson as described on
your Start Here sheet.

Selecting the Correct Paper Type

Your printer automatically adjusts itself for the type of paper
you select in your print settings. That's why the paper Type
setting is so important. It tells your printer what kind of paper
you're using and adjusts the ink coverage accordingly. The
