Printing From Start to Finish
Maintaining Your Printer Follow the instructions in this chapter to keep your printer working at its best and to prepare it for moving, if necessary: ■ “Cleaning the Print Head” below ■ “Replacing an Ink Cartridge” on page 51 ■ “Aligning the Print Head” on page 57 ■ “Cleaning the Printer” on page 59 ■ “Transporting the Printer” on page 60 Cleaning the Print Head If your printouts are unexpectedly light or dots or lines are missing, you may need to clean the print head.
Running the Head Cleaning Utility 1. Make sure the printer is turned on but not printing, and the red H ink light is off. (If the H ink light is flashing or on, you need to replace a cartridge; see page 51 for details.) 2. Do one of the following: ■ Windows: Right-click the icon on your taskbar (in the lower right corner of your screen). Select Head Cleaning. ■ Macintosh OS X: Open the Applications folder and select EPSON Printer Utility.
If the pattern has white lines or gaps (as shown below), click Clean to clean the print head again. If you don’t see any improvement after cleaning three or four times, refer to “Problems and Solutions” on page 64. You can also turn the printer off and wait overnight—this allows any dried ink to soften—and then try cleaning the print head again. Replacing an Ink Cartridge When the red H ink light flashes, one or more ink cartridges are low on ink.
Checking the Ink Supply To check the ink supply, do one of the following: ■ Windows: Double-click the icon on the Windows taskbar. You see a window like this one: ■ Macintosh OS X: Choose Applications > EPSON Printer Utility > SP R200 Series > EPSON StatusMonitor. ■ Macintosh OS 8.6 to 9.x: From the File menu, select Print, then click the ink icon. You see a window like this one: Click a cartridge image to display information about the cartridge.

Other products may cause damage to your printer not covered by EPSON’s warranty.
Removing and Installing Ink Cartridges Be sure you have a new ink cartridge before you begin. Once you start replacing a cartridge, you must complete all the steps in one session. 1. Make sure the printer is turned on (the green P power light should be on, but not flashing). Then open the printer cover. 2. Press and release the H ink button. If your ink light is off, go to step 4.
5. Press in the tab on the back of the cartridge and lift the cartridge out of the printer. Dispose of it carefully. Warning: 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 thoroughly with water. 6. Unwrap the new ink cartridge. Caution: Don’t touch the green circuit board or remove any labels.
7. Lower the cartridge into the holder, with the green circuit board facing the front. Then gently push the cartridge down until it clicks into place. 8. If you need to replace another ink cartridge, repeat steps 5 through 7 before continuing with step 9. 9. Close the cartridge cover. 10. Close the printer cover and press the H ink button. The printer begins charging the ink delivery system. The green P power light flashes and the printer makes noise. Charging takes about half a minute.
Aligning the Print Head If your printouts contain misaligned vertical lines, or you see light or dark horizontal banding, you may need to align the print head. 1. Turn on the printer. 2. Load several sheets of plain, letter-size paper. 3. Do one of the following: ■ Windows: Right-click the icon on your taskbar (in the lower right corner of your screen). Select Print Head Alignment. ■ Macintosh OS X: Open the Applications folder and select EPSON Printer Utility.
6. Select one square each for rows 1 to 4, then enter the number of the best square in the corresponding boxes on the screen. Then click Next. If you can’t find a square without visible bands, choose the one that’s best. Then click Realignment to print another test page and repeat this step. 7. After you click Next, follow the instructions on the screen to print the next test page. You see a window like this one: 8. On the test page, select the square without any visible bands.
Cleaning the Printer To keep your printer working at its best, you should clean it several times a year. 1. Turn off the printer, unplug the power cord, and disconnect the USB cable. 2. Remove all the paper, then use a soft brush to clean the sheet feeder. 3. If the outer case or inside of the sheet feeder are dirty, clean it with a soft cloth dampened with mild detergent. Keep the printer cover closed to prevent water from getting inside. 4.
Transporting the Printer If you need to move your printer some distance, you must prepare it for transportation in its original box or one of a similar size. Caution: To avoid damage, always leave the ink cartridges installed when transporting the printer. 1. Open the printer cover and turn on the printer. Wait until the print head locks in the far right position, then turn off the printer. 2. Unplug the power cord from the electrical outlet. Then disconnect the power cord and USB cable from the printer.

■ If the test page prints, the problem probably lies in your software settings, USB cable, or computer, or your software may not be installed correctly. ■ If the test page doesn’t print, you may have a problem with your printer. Try the suggestions in “Problems and Solutions” below. If nothing works, contact you dealer or EPSON as described in “Where To Get Help” on page 73. 6. Turn off the printer, reconnect the USB cable, then turn on your printer and computer.
■ If you are using Macintosh OS X and you do not see the printer name or borderless option in the Format for menu on the Page Setup screen, you may need to set up your printer in the Print Center utility. See the Start Here sheet for instructions. ■ For Windows 2000, if you see an error message or your software doesn’t install correctly, you may not have software installation privileges. Contact your System Administrator. ■ Make sure Windows 98, Me, 2000, or XP was preinstalled on your system.
Your printer makes noise when you turn it on or after it has been sitting for awhile. Your printer is performing routine maintenance. Printing is too slow. Make sure your system meets the requirements listed on page 75. If you’re printing a high-resolution image, you need more than the minimum requirements listed. You may also need to: ■ Clear space on your hard drive or run a defragmentation utility. ■ Close open programs that you’re not using. ■ Increase your system’s memory (RAM).
Print Quality Problems You see banding (light lines). ■ The print head nozzles may need cleaning; see page 49 for instructions. ■ Select a higher print quality and turn off High Speed mode. See page 23 (Windows) or page 25 (Macintosh). ■ Make sure the Type or Media Type setting matches the paper you loaded; see page 22 for guidelines. ■ Make sure the printable side of the paper is face up. It’s usually brighter or whiter. ■ The ink cartridges may need replacing.
Your printout is faint or has gaps. ■ The print head nozzles may need cleaning; see page 49 for instructions. ■ The ink cartridges may be old or low on ink. To replace an ink cartridge, see page 51. ■ Make sure the paper Type (Windows) Media Type (Macintosh) setting matches the paper you loaded; see page 22 for guidelines. ■ Make sure your paper isn’t damaged, old, dirty, or loaded face down.
Problems With Paper Feeding Paper doesn’t eject fully or is wrinkled. ■ If the paper doesn’t eject fully, you may have set the wrong paper size. Press the ) paper button to eject the paper, then select the correct paper size. ■ If it’s wrinkled when it ejects, the paper may be damp or too thin. Paper doesn’t feed correctly or jams in the printer. ■ Make sure the paper support extension is pulled up.
Printed CDs or DVDs are dirty. Clean the rollers as described on page 33. The CD/DVD won’t feed into the printer. Make sure you hold the CD/DVD tray level as you load it into the tray guide without tilting it up or down. Don’t push in the tray too far, but line it up with the arrows exactly as described on page page 33. Miscellaneous Printout Problems The image is inverted. Turn off the Mirror Image setting in the Advanced window or the mirror setting in your program.
You see incorrect characters. ■ Make sure the USB cable is securely connected and meets the system requirements on page 75. Then try printing again. ■ Make sure your printer is selected in your software, or is set as the active printer in the Print Center or Macintosh Chooser. ■ If you’re using a USB hub, connect the printer directly to your computer instead.
