■ If you connected a telephone or answering machine, make sure it is connected to the EXT. port. Do not use a phone line splitter. ■ If an answering machine is connected, set the number of rings to answer for receiving faxes to be greater than the number of rings for the answering machine. Print Quality Problems ■ Load the paper printable side down (usually the whiter, brighter, or glossy side) in the paper cassettes. Load paper printable side up in the rear paper feed slot. ■ Make sure your paper isn't damp or curled. ■ For the best print quality, use EPSON papers (see page 8) and genuine EPSON ink cartridges (see page 30). ■ Make sure the type of paper you loaded matches the paper type setting on the touch screen or in your printer software (see page 19). ■ If you notice light or dark bands across your printouts or they are too faint, run a nozzle check (see page 28) to see if the print head needs cleaning. ■ If you notice jagged vertical lines, you may need to align the print head. See the online User's Guide for instructions. ■ The ink cartridges may be low on ink. Check your cartridge status and replace cartridges, if necessary (see page 31). ■ Clean the scanner glass with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth (paper towels are not recommended), or use a small amount of glass cleaner on a soft cloth, if necessary. Do not spray glass cleaner directly on the glass. Solving Problems 41

Print Quality Problems
Load the paper printable side down (usually the whiter, brighter, or glossy side) in the
paper cassettes. Load paper printable side up in the rear paper feed slot.
Make sure your paper isn’t damp or curled.
For the best print quality, use EPSON papers (see page 8) and genuine EPSON ink
cartridges (see page 30).
Make sure the type of paper you loaded matches the paper type setting on the touch
screen or in your printer software (see page 19).
If you notice light or dark bands across your printouts or they are too faint, run a
nozzle check (see page 28) to see if the print head needs cleaning.
If you notice jagged vertical lines, you may need to align the print head. See the online
User’s Guide
for instructions.
The ink cartridges may be low on ink. Check your cartridge status and replace
cartridges, if necessary (see page 31).
Clean the scanner glass with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth (paper towels are not
recommended), or use a small amount of glass cleaner on a soft cloth, if necessary. Do
not spray glass cleaner directly on the glass.
