Printing Problems

  • Print Quality Issues:

    • Light or faint prints: Check ink levels and replace cartridges if necessary. You can also run a nozzle check to see if the print head needs cleaning [1].
    • Vertical banding: You may need to align the print head. Refer to Epson’s online Information Center for instructions.
  • Paper Jams:

    • Turn off the printer and carefully remove any jammed paper. Be sure to check for scraps in both the front and rear trays.
  • Computer Not Recognizing Printer:

    • Wireless connection: Double-check that your printer is connected to your computer’s Wi-Fi network. You can consult your user manual or refer to Epson’s support website for instructions on setting up a wireless connection.
    • USB connection: Ensure the USB cable is securely plugged into the printer and computer. Try using a different USB cable if possible.

Scanning Problems

  • Make sure the document is placed flat on the scanner glass.
  • Clean the scanner glass with a soft, lint-free cloth.

Faxing Problems

  • Verify that the phone jack is working by connecting a phone to it.
  • If you have a DSL line, ensure a DSL filter is connected to the phone jack.
  • If your fax calls are getting disconnected, check the settings on your answering machine.
