Running a Printer Check

A printer check will help you determine if the R1900 Series is
operating properly.
1. Turn off the printer and your computer, if connected.
2. Disconnect any connected USB cables.
3. Load plain paper in the sheet feeder.
4. Hold down the
button to turn on the printer, then release the buttons.
5. The R1900 Series begins printing the nozzle check pattern.
❏ If the page prints, your printer is operating. Your
problem may be caused by your computer, cable,
software, or setting selections. Check for additional
solutions or re-install your software.
❏ If the pattern on the page has gaps, clean or align the
print head.
❏ If the page does not print, the printer may have a
problem. Check for additional solutions. If they don't
work, contact Epson.

Loading Paper

Before you print, load paper in the correct place for the type of
paper you are using.
You can load plain paper and most glossy and matte papers in
the sheet feeder (except roll paper; see page 9). Check the list
on page 8 to see if you must load your special paper one sheet
at a time using the single sheet guide and the manual feed slot.
Note: When printing on paper, make sure the CD/DVD tray guide
cover is closed.
