2. Make sure letter-size or larger plain paper is loaded in the printer.

power

maintenance button until the green
power light starts to flash, then release it.
The printer prints one page showing its ROM version number, the ink counter
code, and a nozzle check pattern. (If the pattern has lines, you need to clean the
print head; see Cleaning the Print Head.)
4. Turn off the printer after it prints the check page. Then reconnect the cable and
turn on your printer and computer.
■
If the check page prints, the problem probably lies in your software settings,
the USB cable, or your computer. It’s also possible that your software may not
be installed correctly. See Reinstalling Printer Software for instructions on
reinstalling the printer software.
■
If the check page doesn’t print, you may have a problem with your printer.
Try the suggestions in Problems and Solutions. If nothing works, contact your
dealer or EPSON as described in Where To Get Help.
