Miscellaneous Printout Problems
The margins are incorrect.
■
Make sure the paper settings in your
printer software are correct for your
paper size. See the electronic
Reference
Guide (as described on page 3) for
instructions.
■
Check your software documentation
for instructions on selecting the
correct margins for your paper size.
The margins must be within the
printable area of the page. See
“Printer Specifications” in your
electronic
Reference Guide (as
described on page 3) for details.
You see incorrect characters.
■
Make sure the interface cable is
securely connected and that the cable
meets the system requirements on
page 57 and page 58. Then try
printing again.
■
Make sure your printer is selected in
your application, or as the Windows
default printer or the current printer
in the Macintosh Chooser.
■
If you’re using a switch box with your
printer, connect the printer directly
to your computer and try printing
again.
The image size or position is
incorrect.
Make sure the paper and/or layout
options are set correctly. See your
electronic
Reference Guide (as described
on page 3) for more information.
The image is inverted, as if viewed in
a mirror.
Turn off
Flip Horizontal
in the printer
software or the mirror setting in your
application software. (If you’re printing
on EPSON Iron-On Cool Peel
Transfer Paper, the image
should be
inverted so it looks correct when it’s
ironed on.)
The printer prints blank pages.
■
Make sure the paper settings in the
printer software are correct for your
paper size. See your electronic
Reference Guide (as described on
page 3) for instructions.
■
The print head nozzles may need
cleaning; see page 35 for
instructions.
You see ink smears near the edge of
the page.
■
Extend the output tray completely
to ensure the paper lies flat when
printing. This prevents the paper
from rubbing against the print
head.
■
If you are using BorderFree
printing (no margins setting) or
using the maximum area setting,
use a heavier paper such as Photo
Paper or Premium Glossy Photo
Paper.
