your online User’s Guide.
Purchasing Epson Ink Cartridges and Paper
You can purchase genuine Epson ink and paper from Epson Supplies Central at
www.epson.com/ink3 (U.S. sales) or www.epson.ca (Canadian sales). You can also
purchase supplies from an Epson authorized reseller. To find the nearest one, call
800-GO-EPSON (800-463-7766).
Use the following list when you order or purchase new ink cartridges:
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. The cartridges included with the
printer are designed for printer setup and not for resale. After some ink is used for
priming, the rest is available for printing.
For best printing results, use up a cartridge within six months of opening the package,
and before the expiration date on the cartridge box.

Problems and Solutions 19
Problems and Solutions
Check the solutions below if you’re having trouble using your Epson product.
Note: If the LCD screen is dark, press any button to wake the printer from sleep mode.
Network Problems
■Try connecting to the router or access point with your computer or another device to
confirm that it is working correctly.
■Try resetting the router (turn it off and then on), then try to connect to it again.
■Print a network status sheet (see page 20). Verify that the network settings are correct
and check the signal strength. If it is poor, try moving the product closer to your
router or access point. Avoid placing it next to a microwave oven, 2.4 GHz cordless
phone, or large metal object such as a filing cabinet.
■If your wireless router doesn’t broadcast its network name (SSID), see your online
User’s Guide for instructions on manually entering your wireless network name.
■If your wireless router has security enabled, make sure you entered the WEP key or
WPA passphrase correctly.
■When using TCP/IP, make sure your network’s DHCP option is enabled (your
router manufacturer will be able to assist you with this setting).
■Remove and reinsert the CD or download the installer again to reinstall your product
software.
■Disable the firewall temporarily to see if that may be causing the problem. Contact
your firewall manufacturer for assistance.
■Make sure your firewall or security software is not set to block port 3629 (TCP/
UDP). Contact your firewall manufacturer for assistance.
Cannot scan over the network
■If you cannot scan from the product’s control panel, make sure you restarted your
computer after installing the product software. Make sure Epson Event Manager is
not being blocked by your firewall or security software. Try turning off the firewall.
■If you are scanning a large document at high resolution, a communication error may
occur. If the scan did not complete, lower the resolution.
■If network communication was interrupted while starting Epson Scan, exit Epson
Scan, and restart it after a few seconds. If Epson Scan cannot restart, turn the printer
off and back on, and then try restarting Epson Scan. Check the Timeout Setting in
EPSON Scan Settings.
■Make sure Epson Event Manager is set up to communicate with your product.

20 Problems and Solutions
Print a Network Status Sheet
1. Press if necessary and select FSetup.
2. Select Wi-Fi Settings, then select Print Status Sheet.
3. Select Yes to print a network status sheet.
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.
■Printing stops when an ink cartridge is expended. If a color cartridge is expended, you
may be able to continue printing temporarily with black ink; see the online
User’s Guide for more information. If the black cartridge is expended, you must
replace it to continue printing.
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. See your online User’s Guide for more
information.
■Do not load paper with holes punched in it.
