When both lights are on, one of the ink cartridges is out of ink.
Determine which cartridge is empty. Then replace the cartridge as
described on page 7. If both lights come on after you've replaced a
cartridge, you may have installed a cartridge your printer can't use.

Jammed paper may be blocking movement of the print head, or you
may have an internal error. Turn off the printer, open the cover, and
check for any jammed paper. Also, make sure you removed all the
packing material, as described on the Start Here sheet. Then turn the
printer back on. If the error isn't cleared, contact your dealer or EPSON.
See page 29 for contact information.
