Introduction
Loading Paper
You can print documents and photos on a variety of paper types and sizes. For
details, see page 7.
1. Open the paper support and pull up the extensions. Then open the output
tray, pull out the extensions, and raise the stopper.
2. Flip the feeder guard forward, then squeeze the edge guide and slide it left.
Loading Paper

3. Insert the paper, glossy or printable side up, against the right edge and behind
the tab. (Load letterhead or pre-printed paper top edge first.)
Always load paper short edge
first, even for landscape printing.
You can load up to 120 sheets of letter-size plain paper, 80 sheets of matte, or
20 sheets of photo paper. Load other papers one sheet at a time. See your onscreen Epson Information Center for more information.
Note:
The type of paper you choose affects the way your printout looks. If you are just
making a copy or printing a rough draft, plain paper is fine. However, for the best
results, you’ll want to use one of Epson’s special ink jet papers designed for your
printer. For example, your photos will look great printed on Epson Ultra Premium
Photo Paper Glossy (see page 7 for more information).
4. Slide the edge guide against the paper, but not too tightly.
Note:
For instructions on loading envelopes, see your on-screen Epson Information Center.

Cleaning the Print Head
If print quality has declined and the nozzle check pattern indicates clogged
nozzles, you can clean the print head. Print head cleaning uses ink, so clean it only
if necessary.
Note:
You cannot clean the print head if an ink cartridge is expended, and may not be able to
clean it when a cartridge is low. You must replace the cartridge first (see page 31).

Cleaning takes approximately one minute. When it’s finished, you see a
message on the display screen.
Caution:
Never turn off the printer during head cleaning or you may damage it.
4. Run a nozzle check (as described on page 28) to verify that the print head is
clean.
5. If there are still gaps or lines, or the test patterns are faint, run another
cleaning cycle and check the nozzles again.
Note:
If you don’t see any improvement after cleaning the print head four times, turn off the
printer and wait at least six hours to let any dried ink soften. Then try cleaning the print
head again. If quality does not improve, one of the ink cartridges may need to be
replaced. If that doesn’t help, contact Epson as described on page 38.
If you do not use your Epson printer often, it is a good idea to print a few pages at least
once a month to maintain good print quality.

Maintaining Your Printer
Note:
We recommend that you use genuine Epson cartridges and do not refill them. The use
of other products may affect your print quality and could result in printer damage.
Yields vary considerably based on images printed, print settings, paper type, frequency
of use, and temperature. For print quality, a small amount of ink remains in the cartridge
after the “replace cartridge” indicator comes on. Your printer ships with full cartridges
and part of the ink from the first cartridges is used for priming the printer.
For best printing results, use up a cartridge within six months of opening the package,
and before the expiration date on the cartridge box.
Store ink cartridges in a cool, dark place. If cartridges have been exposed to cold
temperatures, allow them to warm up to room temperature for at least 3 hours before
using them.
Replacing Ink Cartridges
Make sure you have a new ink cartridge before you begin. You must install new
cartridges immediately after removing the old ones.
Caution:
Do not open ink cartridge packages until you are ready to install the ink. Cartridges are
vacuum packed to maintain reliability.
Note:
Leave the expended cartridge installed until you have obtained a replacement, or the
ink remaining in the print head nozzles may dry out.
1. Turn on your Epson printer.
2. If an ink cartridge is expended, you see a message

Problems and Solutions
Check the solutions below if you’re having trouble using your Epson printer.
Printing and Copying Problems
■
Make sure your original is positioned in the front right corner of the glass. If
the edges are cropped, move your original away from the edges slightly.
■
Make sure your paper is loaded short edge first and is positioned against the
right side with the edge guide against its left side. Don’t load paper above the
arrow mark inside the edge guide.
■
Make sure the paper size settings are correct for the paper you loaded.
Paper Feeding Problems
■
If paper doesn’t feed, remove it from the sheet feeder. Flip through the stack to
separate the sheets a little. Then reload the paper against the right side, and
slide the left edge guide against the paper (but not too tightly).
■
Do not load too many sheets at once. You can load up to 120 sheets of lettersize plain paper, 80 sheets of matte, or 20 sheets of photo paper. Load other
papers one sheet at a time. See your on-screen Epson Information Center for
more information.
■
Do not load paper with holes punched in it.
36
Solving Problems
■
If paper is jammed, follow these steps:
1. Gently pull out jammed paper from the output tray or sheet feeder.
2. If paper is stuck inside, turn off your Epson printer.
3. Open the scanner, remove the jammed paper and torn pieces, close the
scanner, and turn the printer back on.
Print Quality Problems
If you have any problems with the copy or print quality, try these solutions:
■
Make sure the document is placed flat against the document table glass and
your Epson printer is not tilted or placed on an uneven surface.
■
Load the paper printable side up (usually the whiter, brighter, or glossy side).
■
Make sure your paper isn’t damp or curled.
■
Use a support sheet with special paper or load your paper one sheet at a time.
Remove sheets from the output tray so not too many collect at a time.
■
Make sure the type of paper you loaded matches the paper size and paper type
settings on the control panel or in your printer software (see page 24).
■
For the best print quality, use Epson special paper (see page 7) and genuine
Epson ink cartridges (see page 30).
■
If you notice light or dark bands across your printouts or they are too faint,
you may need to clean the print head (see page 29). This unclogs the nozzles
so they can deliver ink properly. Run a nozzle check as described on page 28
to see if the print head needs cleaning.
■
Clean the print head as described on page 29.
■
If you notice jagged vertical lines, you may need to align the print head. See
your on-screen Epson Information Center for instructions.
■
The ink cartridges may be low on ink. Check your cartridge status (see
page 30) and replace cartridges, if necessary (see page 31).
■
If a dotted line appears in the image, clean the document table glass with a
soft, dry, lint-free cloth (paper towels are not recommended and may
permanently scratch the surface), or use a small amount of glass cleaner on a
soft cloth, if necessary. Do not spray glass cleaner directly on the glass.

Important Safety Instructions
Before using your Epson printer, read and follow these safety instructions:
■
Be sure to follow all warnings and instructions marked on your Epson printer.
■
Use only the type of power source indicated on the printer label.
■
Use only the power cord that comes with the printer. Use of another cord may cause
fires or shock. Do not use the cord with any other equipment.
■
Place the printer near a wall outlet where the plug can be easily unplugged.
■
If you won’t be using the printer for a long period, unplug the power cord from the
electrical outlet.
■
Always turn off the printer using the POn button, and wait until the POn light
stops flashing before unplugging the printer or cutting off power to the electrical
outlet.
■
Avoid plugging the printer into an outlet on the same circuit as a photo copier or air
control system that regularly switches on and off, or on an outlet controlled by a wall
switch or timer.
■
Do not let the power cord become damaged or frayed.
■
If you use an extension cord with the printer, make sure the total ampere rating of the
devices plugged into the extension cord does not exceed the cord’s ampere rating.
Also, make sure the total ampere rating of all devices plugged into the wall outlet does
not exceed the wall outlet’s ampere rating.
■
Avoid locations that are subject to rapid changes in heat or humidity, shocks or
vibrations, or dust.
■
Leave enough room around the printer for sufficient ventilation. Do not block or
cover openings in the case or insert objects through the slots.
■
Do not place the printer near a radiator or heating vent or in direct sunlight.
■
Place the printer on a flat, stable surface that extends beyond its base in all directions.
It will not operate properly if it is tilted or at an angle.
■
Make sure the back of the printer is at least 4 inches (10 cm) away from the wall.
■
Do not open the scanner section while the NX210 Series is copying, printing, or
scanning.
■
Do not spill liquid on the printer.
Notices
39
■
Except as specifically explained in your documentation, do not attempt to service the
printer yourself.
■
Unplug the printer and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the
following conditions: if the power cord or plug is damaged; if liquid has entered the
product; if the product has been dropped or the case damaged; if the product does not
operate normally or exhibits a distinct change in performance. Adjust only those
controls that are covered by the operating instructions.
■
When storing or transporting the printer, do not tilt it, stand it on its side, or turn it
upside down; otherwise ink may leak from the cartridges.
■
Do not use aerosol products that contain flammable gases inside or around the
printer. Doing so may cause fire.
Ink Cartridge Safety Instructions
■
Keep ink cartridges out of the reach of children and do not drink the ink.
■
Be careful when you handle used ink cartridges; there may be ink remaining around
the ink supply port. If ink gets on your skin, wash it off with soap and water. If it gets
in your eyes, flush them immediately with water.
■
Do not shake ink cartridges after opening their packages; this can cause leakage.
■
Do not put your hand inside the printer or touch any cartridges during printing.
■
Install a new ink cartridge immediately after removing an expended one. Leaving
cartridges uninstalled can dry out the print head and may prevent the printer from
printing.
■
If you remove an ink cartridge for later use, protect the ink supply area from dirt and
dust and store it in the same environment as the printer. Note that there is a valve in
the ink supply port, making covers or plugs unnecessary, but care is needed to prevent
the ink from staining items that the cartridge touches. Do not touch the ink cartridge
ink supply port or surrounding area.
LCD Display Screen Safety
■
Use only a dry, soft cloth to clean the LCD display screen. Do not use liquid or
chemical cleansers.
■
If the LCD display screen is damaged, contact Epson. If the liquid crystal solution
gets on your hands, wash them thoroughly with soap and water. If the liquid crystal
solution gets into your eyes, flush them immediately with water. If discomfort or
vision problems remain after a thorough flushing, see a doctor immediately.
