Solving Operational Problems
If you can’t turn the printer on, if it stops printing unexpectedly, or if 
nothing prints, check the following: 
The printer is turned on and the Operate light is on.
Paper is loaded in the printer
The printer is plugged securely into a working electrical outlet that’s not 
controlled by a switch or timer.
The interface cable is securely connected to the printer and your 
computer.
The voltage supplied by the electrical outlet matches the voltage on the 
printer’s rating label. If not, turn off the power and unplug the power 
cord immediately. Contact EPSON for assistance. (See page 5 for 
details.)
