Diagnosing Problems
The EPSON Stylus Pro 10000 printer includes a number of ways to help
you diagnose problems:
•
To identify the most common problems, check the messages and lights
on the printer’s control panel. See page 5-5 through 5-7 for more
information.
•
If you’re using the EPSON printer driver and Monitor3 (Macintosh) or
Status Monitor (Windows) utility, check your software for error
messages. See Chapter 3 or 4 for more information.
•
To determine whether the problem is caused by the printer itself,
disconnect the printer from your computer and run a nozzle check from
the control panel. See page 1-9 for instructions.
•
You can use the printer’s hex dump mode to pinpoint communication
problems. Then you can fax the printout to a technical support
representative or interpret it yourself. See the following section 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 4.
