Checking The Printer Status - Windows - Epson ET-2700 Series User Manual

User's Guide
Light Situation
The printer has started in recovery mode
because the firmware update failed.
❏ The printer was not turned off correctly.*
❏ Because the printer was turned off while
operating, the nozzles may have dried
and clogged.
* The power was turned off with a power
strip or breaker, the plug was pulled out of
the outlet, or an electrical failure occurred.
*1 In some print cycles a very small amount of surplus ink may be collected in the ink pad. To prevent ink leakage
from the pad, the printer is designed to stop printing when the pad has reached its limit. Whether and how often
this is required will vary according to the number of pages you print, the type of material that you print and the
number of cleaning cycles that the printer performs. The need for replacement of the pad does not mean that your
printer has ceased to operate in accordance with its specifications. The printer will advise you when the pad
requires replacing and this can only be performed by an authorised Epson Service provider. The Epson warranty
does not cover the cost of this replacement.
