When all the lights flash, your printer may have an internal error. Make sure you removed all the packing material as described on the unpacking sheet in your printer box. Then turn off the printer, wait a few seconds, and turn it on again. If the lights still flash, contact your dealer or EPSON.

When all the lights are off, the printer is not receiving power. Try these solutions:

❏ Make sure the printer is turned on. ❏ Turn off the printer, plug in the power cord

securely, and turn on the printer again.

❏ Make sure the outlet is operable and is not

controlled by a switch or timer. If in doubt, try using another outlet.

Installing an Ink Cartridge for the First Time

Follow these ink cartridge precautions:

❏ Install both ink cartridges, and leave them installed for

all types of printing, or the printer won’t work.

❏ Remove the yellow tape seal from the top of the ink

cartridges or you’ll permanently damage them. Don’t remove the clear seals on the bottom or ink will leak out.

❏ Don’t open an ink cartridge clamp to remove a

cartridge except to replace it with a new one. Once you remove a cartridge, you can’t reuse it, even if it contains ink.

❏ Never turn off the printer when the

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

Keep ink cartridges out of the reach of children.

If ink gets on your hands, wash them thoroughly with soap and water. If ink gets in your eyes, flush them immediately with water.

1. Lower the output tray and open the printer cover.

2. Press the

P power button to turn on the printer. The

P power light flashes and the B black and A color ink out

lights come on. The ink cartridge holders move left into loading position.

Don’t use an outlet that is controlled by a wall switch or timer, or one on the same circuit as a large appliance, to avoid damaging the printer’s power supply.

Always use the off. Never use an external switch, such as a power strip switch.
