Preventing paper feed and paper jam problems
If you have frequent paper feed or paper jam problems, refer
to this checklist of corrective measures:
Use a higher-quality paper, one that is not too thin or
rough. Some types of paper require manual feeding.
Fan the stack of paper and then tap it on an edge to align
it before you load it.
Be sure that you do not load too much paper in the paper
feeder.
Try turning the stack of paper over in the paper feeder.
Most packages of paper indicate the best side to print on
with an arrow on the end of the package. Make sure the
best side is loaded face down.

Replacing the Ink Cartridge
When the INK OUT light on the control panel flashes, the ink
in the ink cartridge is low. The printer continues printing
until the cartridge is completely empty. When it is out of ink,
the printer stops and the INK OUT light stays on. Printing will
not resume until you insert a new cartridge.
It's a good idea to keep a spare ink cartridge on hand. Use
EPSON ink cartridge S020025 to ensure proper operation and
preserve the life of the print head. Other brands of ink may
clog the print head or damage it.
Follow these steps to remove the empty cartridge:
1. Make sure the printer stops printing and both the INK OUT
and PAUSE lights stay on. Then open the printer cover.
2. Hold down the ALT button for several seconds and release
the button when the print head moves to the ink cartridge
replace position.
3. Pull the ink cartridge clamp toward you to release the
cartridge. (The clamp pushes the ink cartridge up so it is
easy to grasp.)
4. Lift the cartridge out of the printer and dispose of it properly.
Do not take the used cartridge apart or try to refill it.
Warning:
w
The ink cartridge is self-contained to prevent leaks. However,
if ink gets on your hands, wash them thoroughly with soapy
water. If ink gets on your hands, flush them immediately with
water.
5. See "Installing the Ink Cartridge" for step-by-step
instructions on installing the new cartridge.
Note:
When you replace the cartridge, the printer will not recharge
the ink delivery system again. However, the print head may
start moving as the printer performs normal maintenance
procedures. This can take up to 40 seconds to complete.
