Problems and Solutions
Below are some troubleshooting tips for your EPSON 1000 ICS and its software.
Setup and Software Installation Problems
The EPSON 1000 ICS
makes noise after ink
cartridge installation.
The first time you install ink cartridges, the EPSON
1000 ICS must charge its ink delivery system. Wait
until charging finishes (the
P
Operate
light stops
flashing) before you turn off the EPSON 1000 ICS or
it may charge improperly and use excess ink the next
time you turn it on. If the EPSON 1000 ICS stops
moving or making noise, but the
P
Operate
light is
still flashing after 5 minutes, turn it off. If the light is
still flashing when you turn it back on, see “Where To
Get Help” on page 49.
Make sure the ink cartridge clamps are locked down
completely and that no packing material remains in
the printer. Turn off the printer, wait a moment, then
turn it back on to clear the error.
