Problems and Solutions

Here are some troubleshooting tips if you have any problems setting up your printer,
installing software, or printing.
Problems Setting Up
the Printer or Installing
Software
The printer started making noise
after ink cartridge installation.
The first time you install ink
cartridges, the printer must charge
its ink delivery system for about
two minutes. Wait until charging
finishes (the Ppower light stops
flashing) before you turn off the
printer. If you turn off the printer
while it's charging, it begins
charging again the next time you
turn it on and uses more ink than
necessary.
Make sure the ink cartridge clamps
are locked down and that no
packing material remains in the
printer.
If the printer stops moving or
making noise, but the Ppower
light is still flashing after five
minutes, turn off the printer. If the
light is still flashing when you turn
it back on, contact your EPSON
dealer or see "Where To Get
Help" on page 45.
You're having problems installing
the printer software.
Carefully follow the instructions
on the Start Here poster.
Make sure your printer cable is
securely connected to the printer
and computer.
Make sure you've closed all other
applications, including any screen
savers and virus protection
software. Then try installing the
printer software again.
For Windows NT or 2000, if you
see an error message or your
software doesn't install correctly,
you may not have software
installation privileges. Contact
your System Administrator.
