Printer Problems
The printer is on, but nothing prints.
■ Make sure the USB cable is connected securely and that the cable meets the
system requirements on page 69.
■ Run a printer check as described on page 56. If the check page prints, make
sure your software is installed correctly.
■ If you’re printing on a network, you need to set up your printer for network
printing, as described in your on-screen User’s Guide.
■ If you print continuously for an extended period, the paper may temporarily
stop feeding or the print head carriage may pause for a while to prevent the
printer mechanism from overheating and being damaged. If this happens, you
can continue to print but Epson recommends that you stop and leave the
printer on for about 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, turn the printer off and on
and it should print at normal speed.
The printer sounds as though it is printing, but nothing prints.

windows.

page 41.

you’re using.
