Diagnosing Problems
Your EPSON Stylus Pro 5500 includes a number of ways to help you
diagnose problems:
•
To identify the most common problems, check the lights on the
printer’s control panel. See page 7-3 through page 7-5 for instructions.
•
To determine whether the problem is caused by the printer itself,
disconnect the printer from your computer and run a printer check.
See page 6-4 for instructions.
•
If none of the suggested solutions in this chapter solve your problem,
contact EPSON as described under “Where To Get Help” on page 5.
Improving Print Quality

•
Run a cleaning cycle. See page 6-1 for instructions.
•
When you send a print job, match the
Media Type

printer software to the type of paper you’re using. See Chapter 3
(Macintosh) or Chapter 4 (Windows) for details.
