and is stays on.

flashing, unless the printer hasn't moved or made any
noise for more than five minutes.

Testing the Printer
You can run a printer check to determine whether the
problem comes from the printer itself or some other source.
Follow these steps to run the printer check:
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.
Load paper that's at least 8.27 inches (210 mm) wide.
This prevents ink from spraying inside the printer and
smudging your printouts.
4. Hold down the E load/eject button, then press and release
the Ppower button. Continue holding down the E load/
eject button until the Ppower light starts to flash, then
release it.
The printer prints one page showing its ROM version
number, ink counter, and a nozzle check pattern in black,
magenta, cyan, and yellow. Only the nozzle check pattern is
shown below.
5. To end the check, turn off the printer after it prints the
check page. Then reconnect the interface cable and turn on
your printer and computer.
If the results are satisfactory, the problem lies in your
software settings, the interface cable, or your computer.
If the check page does not print correctly, you may have
a problem with your printer. First try cleaning the print
head (see page 10). Then try the suggestions in
"Problems and Solutions" in the Printer Basics book or
"Troubleshooting" in the EPSON Stylus COLOR 900
Manual.
