Diagnosing Problems

There are a number of ways to diagnose printer problems:

To identify the most common problems, check the printer’s
lights; see

Checking the Control Panel Lights

for details.

You can also view the Printer Status window to identify
common problems, if you installed Status Monitor 2 with
Windows 95, 98, or NT 4.0. For instructions, see

Using the

Printer Status Window

. On a Macintosh, you can check your ink

levels using the Status Monitor; see

Using the Macintosh

Status Monitor

for details.

To determine whether the problem is caused by the printer
itself, run a printer operation check. See

Running a Printer

Operation Check

for instructions.

If you see an error message about your printer settings or have
problems with color quality, you may need to confirm your
Printer ID number. See

Confirming the Printer ID Number

for

details.

For the latest information, check the Help programs and the
ReadMe files in the EPSON program group or folder.

If any of the suggested solutions in this chapter tell you to
uninstall and then reinstall your printer software, see

Uninstalling Printer Software

for instructions.

If none of the suggested solutions here solve your problem,
contact your EPSON dealer or see
