Installing Lower Paper Cassettes
1. Turn off the printer and unplug the power cord from the
electrical outlet.
2. Disconnect any interface cables from the printer.
3. Place each lower paper cassette next to the printer so the
ridged front edges face the same way as the ridged front
edge of the printer. If you’ll be installing two cassettes,
place one cassette on top of the other.
5. Connect the interface cable(s).
6. Make sure the printer’s power switch is in the off position;
then plug the power cable into an electrical outlet.
7. Turn on the printer.
8. Now run the Windows printer driver to add the optional
paper cassette(s) to your available paper source list.
Note:
If you use the Remote Control Panel utility or Se lecType to contro l your
printer, you need to select the optional paper cas se t te (s) onl y when you
are ready to print.

5. Align the SIMM pins marked either 1 or 72 with the pin
position marked on the slot .
Then insert the SIMM at an angle and rotate the top until it
is vertical and clicks into place. (Do not push too hard.)
To verify that the SIMM is working properly, print a status
sheet and make sure the correct memory amount is listed
under “Hardware Configurations.”
Using OneTouch Modes
The OneTouch mod e s give yo u a qu ick an d ea sy wa y to
change the most common settings. There are two OneTouch
modes, each with four settings shown on the top two lines of
the control panel.

Using SelecType
The SelecType button accesses a series of menus and
options that are shown on the c ontrol panel displa y.
Although you can set some of the SelecType options
through your driver software, you need to use the printer’s
control panel to access functions like the following:
❏ Checking the amount of toner remaining
❏ Changing the memory buffer size
❏ Configuring interface channels
❏ Changing emulation modes
Changing SelecType Settings
You can look at your current SelecType settings by printing
a status sheet. To do this, wait until the printer warms up
(Ready appears on the contr ol panel display and the O n Line
light is on); then press the Enter button twice.
If you need to change SelecType settings, follow these
steps:
1. Make sure the printer is turned on and the On Line light is
on.
2. Press the Menu button on the control panel.
You have now entered SelecType mode, which changes

Be sure to install EPSON imaging cartridge #S051016 even
if the cartridge you are removing has another part number.
Follow these steps to replace the imaging cartridge:
1. Make sure the printer is turned on.
2. Open the printer’s top cover.
3. Grasp t he old imaging cartridge and pull it straight out of
the printer.
Warning:
Do not touch the fuser inside the printer; it is marke d wi th
the label CAUTION HOT SURFACE.
4. Dispose of the used im aging cartridge with non-burnable
trash.
5. Unpack the imagin g cartridge and hold it level with the
oval handle face up. Then shake the cartridge as shown to
distribute the toner
Caution:
Do not turn the imaging cartridge upside down. Do not
expose the imaging cartridge to light a ny longer than
necessary.
.
Replacing the Imaging Cartridge
The printer’s imaging cartridge can print up to 6,000 pages,
depending on how complex your prin t jobs are. The re are
several ways to tell when you need to replace a cartridge:
You see a Toner Low message on t he contr ol pane l displ ay
❏
You see a Toner Out message on the display
❏
You notice that printing is faint and the Toner function in
❏
SelecType tells you that you have 0 t o 2 5% t oner capaci ty.
If you see a toner message on the control panel display,
replace the cartridge right away.
To check the toner capacity using SelecType, access the
Setup menu and select To ne r. If ther e is only o ne asterisk on
the display, you have 25% or less of toner left and must
replace the cartridge. If you have more left, there may be
another reason your printing is faint.
6. Grab the tab on the left side and pull the clear tape all the
way out of the cartridge.

Incorrect
7. Now shake the cartridge again as shown to distribute the
toner.
8. Line up the cartridge pins with the green guides inside the
printer; then slide in the cartridge until it stops.
To determine whether you need to adjust the RITech
setting, print a status sheet using the printer’s control panel.
Follow the steps below:
1. Turn on the printe r and let it warm up until you see the
Ready message on the control panel display and the
On Line light comes on. (If it doesn’t come on, press the
On Line button.)
Note:
Before proceeding, m a ke sure Toner Save Mode is turne d off or the
status sheet will not print. You can also turn it off using the control panel
or the Remote Control Pane l ut il ity.
2. Press the Enter button twice to print the status sheet. At the
bottom of the sheet you see the RITech test pattern:
9. Close the top cover.
10.Select Toner Count Clear on the SelecType Setup menu to
reset the toner counter.
Adjusting the RITech Setting
EPSON’s new Resolution Improvement Technology
(RITech) automatically improves the print quality of your
lines, text, and graphics. Most of the time it works behind
the scenes to provide the best printed output. Occasionally,
however, you may need to adjust the RITech setting if you
notice a change in quality, such as after you replace the
imaging cartridge.
3. If the test pattern looks correct, do not change the RITech
setting. If it looks incorrect, go to step 4.
4. Open an application program and access the printer driver.
Note:
If you are using the Windows 3.1 EPSONScript driver, you must use the
control panel to ad jus t the RITech setting.
5. Click the Device Option s o r Printer SelecType tab.
6. If the RITech test pattern inside the square is lighter than
the background, select Dark as the RITech setting. If the
pattern is darker than the background, select Light.
7. Click th e OK button.
8. When you see the prompt asking if you want to send your
changes to the printer, select Yes.
9. Exit the printer driver.
10.Now print a page from your application to check the pr int
quality. If the quality is good, you’re finished. If the
quality needs further improvement, go to step 11.
11.Access the printer driver again and click Device Options
or Printer SelecType.
12.Change the Toner Density setting to Dark or Darkest (if
the RITech test pattern was too light) or Light or Lightest
(if the test pattern was too dark).

Note:
If you are using the Windows 3.1 EPSONScript driver, you must use the
control panel to adjust the Density setting.
13.Click the OK button.
14.When you see the prompt asking if you want to send your
changes to the printer, select Yes.
15.Exit the printer driver.
16.Print several pages from your application that contains
text and graphics to check the print quality and make sure
the Density setting is not too ex treme.
The RITech and Density setting s yo u cho se r emain in effect
even after you turn off the printer. Remember that the
darker your Density setting the more toner you use, so
change the setting back to Medium if you do not need dark
printing later on.
Using Hex Dump Mode
Hex dump mode is a special feature that makes it easy for
experienced users to find the cause of communication
problems between the printer and the computer. In hex
dump mode, the printer produces an exact printout of the
codes it receives. Follow these steps to turn on hex dump
mode and send a print job using it:
1. Make sure paper is loaded and the printer is turned off.
Never let more than 250 sheets accumulate in the output
❏
tray on top of the printer.
Try turning over the stack of paper in the tray. Most
❏
packages of paper indicate the printable surface with an
arrow on the end of the package. Make sure that side is
loaded face up.
If you use an optional lower paper cassette, check the
❏
following:
If paper will not load at all, be sure you have selected to
load from the cassette in the printer driver. (Also make
sure the cassette contains paper and is properly installed.)
Make sure you are using letter size paper in the cassette(s)
you have.
Fixing Paper Jams in the Built-in Paper Tray
If the printer stops and the Feed Jam or Paper Jam message
appears, follow these steps:
1. Open the printer’s front cover.
2. Carefully remove all the paper in th e built-in paper tray
and any sheets fed partially into the printer.
2. Hold down the Form Feed button while you turn on the
printer; hold down the button until you see Hex on the
control panel display .
3. Open an application and print a doc ument. Your printer
prints out all the codes it receives in hexadecimal format.
4. To turn off hex dump mode, turn off the printer or reset it
by pressing an d holding dow n the ALT and C ontinue
buttons at the same time. When Reset All appears on the
display, release the buttons.
