Problem Solving

You can print a nozzle check to determine whether a problem comes from the 
EPSON 1000 ICS itself or some other source. 

1. Make sure letter-size or larger paper is loaded in the sheet feeder.

2. Press the left Menu button on the control panel until you see

3. Press the x

interface cable, or your computer. If the check page doesn’t print, you may have a 
problem with your printer. Try the suggestions in “Problems and Solutions” below.

the printer. Turn off the printer, wait a moment, then 
turn it back on to clear the error.
