Testing the Printer
You can run a printer check to determine whether a problem
comes from the printer itself or some other source.
If the results are satisfactory, the problem lies in software
settings, the interface cable, or your computer.
If the printer check does not print correctly, there is a
problem with your printer.
Follow these steps to check the printer:
1. Make sure both the printer and computer are turned off.
2. Disconnect the interface cable from the printer.
3. Make sure paper is loaded in the printer.
4. Hold down the E load/eject button and press the P power
button. Hold down the buttons until the P power light
starts to flash. Then release both buttons.
The printer prints one page containing the printer's ROM
version, ink counter code, and a nozzle check pattern. Only
the nozzle check pattern is shown below:
5. After it prints the page, turn off the printer. Remember to
reconnect the interface cable, then turn on the printer and
your computer.

Use the Flip Horizontal option to reverse your image before you
print it—especially if it includes text—so the image will appear
correctly when it's transferred.

For better results, load EPSON Photo Quality Glossy Film one
sheet at a time. This also allows you to use a smaller top margin.
