Loading Paper You can print documents and photos on a variety of paper types and sizes. For details, see page 6. 1. Open the paper support and pull up the extensions. Then open the output tray, pull out the extensions, and raise the stopper. 2. Squeeze the edge guide and slide it left. Tip: If the feeder guard is in the way, flip it forward.
3. Insert the paper, glossy or printable side up, against the right side and beneath 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 plain paper, 80 sheets of matte, or 20 sheets of photo paper. Load other special papers one sheet at a time. 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.

Maintaining Your All-in-One Follow the instructions in this chapter for checking and cleaning the print head nozzles and replacing ink cartridges. To align the print head, if necessary, see your on-screen Epson Information Center. Caution: To keep your NX200 Series looking like new, don’t place anything on top of the cover or use it as a writing surface. If you need to clean the cover, use only a soft, non-abrasive microfiber-type cloth.
3. Check the nozzle check pattern that prints to see if there are gaps in the lines. Nozzles are clean Nozzles need cleaning 4. If there are no gaps, the print head is clean. If there are gaps or the pattern is faint, clean the print head as described in the next section. 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.
Checking the Ink Cartridge Status When the red B ink light starts flashing, a cartridge is low on ink. You can continue printing until a cartridge needs replacement. When the red B ink light stays on, you need to replace a cartridge. Note: You cannot print or copy when an ink cartridge is expended even if the other cartridges are not expended. Replace any expended cartridges before printing or copying. A window may also appear on your computer screen when you try to print when ink is low.
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. For best printing results, use up a cartridge within six months of opening the package.
3. Press the y Stop button. The print head moves to the _ position to indicate which cartridge is low or expended. Caution: Do not move the print head by hand; this may damage your NX200 Series. Always press and release the y Stop button to move it. 4. Press the y Stop button again. ■ If another cartridge is low or expended, it moves to the _ position. Press the y Stop button again to see if any more cartridges are low or expended.
5. Open the cartridge cover. 6. Squeeze the tab on the cartridge and lift it up. Dispose of it carefully. Do not take the used cartridge apart or try to refill it. Warning: If ink gets on your hands, wash them thoroughly with soap and water. If ink gets into your eyes, flush them immediately with water. Keep ink cartridges out of the reach of children. 7. Before you open the new cartridge package, shake it four or five times. Then remove it from the package.
8. Remove the yellow tape from the bottom of the ink cartridge. Caution: Do not remove any other labels or seals, or ink may leak. 9. Insert the new ink cartridge into the holder and push it down until it clicks into place. 10. Once you replace all the cartridges that need replacing, close the cartridge cover and push it down until it clicks into place.
11. Close the scanner. 12. Press the y Stop button to begin charging the ink. This takes about 2½ minutes. When it’s finished, the P On light stops flashing and remains on, and the B ink light goes out. Caution: Never turn off the NX200 Series while ink is charging or you’ll waste ink. If the B ink light flashes, press the y Stop button and press down all the cartridges securely.
