8. The printer prints a page showing a nozzle check pattern. (If the pattern has gaps, you
need to clean the print head; see page 88.)
If the check page printed, the problem probably lies in your memory card, software
settings, interface cable, or computer, or your software may not be installed correctly.
If the check page did not print, you may have a problem with your printer. Try the
suggestions in "Setup or Software Installation Problems" beginning on page 101. If
nothing works, contact your dealer or EPSON as described on page 111.
9. After examining the check page, remember to turn off the printer and reconnect its cable
to your computer.
