The printer prints blank pages.
Make sure EPSON Stylus COLOR IIs is selected as the default
Windows printer driver.
Make sure you selected the correct
Paper Size
option in the
printer driver; see your Setup Guide for instructions. Also make
sure the margins you selected in your application software fit
the paper size you’re using.
Text printing is slow.
You may be using printer driver settings that are more suitable
for graphics printing and unnecessarily slowing down text
printing. First make sure Monochrome print head is installed in
your printer and selected in the printer driver.
To speed up text printing only, turn off MicroWeave mode and
turn on High Speed mode. Some combinations of
Printing
Mode
(resolution) and
Media Type
do not allow you to select
these settings; if this is the case for your settings, select a lower
resolution, possibly using 180 dpi for drafts and 360 dpi for
your final output. However, do not turn off MicroWeave when
printing final copies of high-quality graphics or photographs.
Ink cartridges do not last as long as expected.
The ink cartridge life depends on the amount of ink used in
printing. If you often print pages with large graphics and dense
text with little white space, you will use up cartridges faster
than if you print pages with lots of white space.
The printer also uses ink during print head cleaning operations,
so do not perform them unless necessary.
If you replace an ink cartridge before the
Error
light flashes, the
sensor that tells you when ink is out will not work with the
new cartridge.
