Solving Operational Problems
If you can’t turn the printer on, if it stops printing unexpectedly, or if
nothing prints, check the following:
• Paper is loaded correctly.
• The printer is plugged securely into a working electrical outlet that’s not
controlled by a switch or timer.
• The interface cable is securely connected to the printer and your system.
• The voltage supplied by the electrical outlet matches the voltage on the
printer’s rating label. If not, turn off the power and unplug the power
cord immediately. Contact Epson for assistance; see page 11 for details.
If none of these suggestions help, try the solutions below.
