Common User Errors and Solutions

Why are my printed pages coming out blank or with missing colors? This typically happens when the print head nozzles are clogged due to inactivity. You should perform a nozzle check from the maintenance menu and clean the print head if the pattern is incomplete.

What is the correct way to clear a paper jam? Users often pull paper forcefully, which can damage internal gears. Carefully remove the stuck paper through the rear cover or the output tray following the path of the paper. Avoid touching the translucent internal film.

Why does my computer say the printer is offline even when it is turned on? This is often a communication error between the router and the device. Restart both the printer and the router, and check that the printer is set as the active device in your computer’s “Devices and Printers” settings.

The printer is not recognizing a newly installed ink cartridge. This usually occurs if the cartridge was not pushed down until it clicked or if the yellow protective tape was not removed. Re-insert the cartridge firmly and ensure all packaging materials are gone.

Why is the print quality poor when using non-Epson paper? Printer settings must match the specific paper type. If you are using third-party paper, you must manually adjust the “Paper Type” setting in the print driver to “Glossy” or “Matte” to control the ink volume correctly.
