Troubleshooting  If you're experienced with reading hexadecimal code, you can print a hex dump to identify possible communication problems. See page 7-3 for instructions.  For the latest information, check the EPSON Stylus COLOR 1520 Help program and the ReadMe file in the EPSON program group or folder.  If none of the suggested solutions in this chapter solve your problem, contact EPSON as described under "Where to Get Help" in the Introduction. Caution: Use paper that's at least 8.3 inches (210 mm) wide so ink doesn't spray onto the platen. Running a Self Test You can run a printer self test to determine whether the problem lies with the printer itself or some other source.  If the test results are satisfactory, the problem lies in software settings, the interface cable, or your computer.  If the test pages don't print correctly, you may have a problem with your printer. See the suggestions in this chapter for possible solutions. Follow these steps to test the printer: 1. Load several sheets of paper in the built-in sheet feeder, making sure the right edge guide is positioned correctly for your paper's width and the paper release lever is in the single sheet position. See page 3-6 for instructions. 2. Turn off the printer. 3. Hold down the Load/Eject button and press the POperate button to turn on the printer. Then release both buttons. This prints the test pages at 360 dpi. (To print test pages at 180 dpi, hold down the LF/FF button while turning on the printer instead of Load/Eject.) 7-2

Troubleshooting
7-2
If you’re experienced with reading hexadecimal code, you
can print a hex dump to identify possible communication
problems. See page 7-3 for instructions.
For the latest information, check the
EPSON S
tylus
COLOR
1520 Help program and the ReadMe file in the
EPSON
program group or folder.
If none of the suggested solutions in this chapter solve your
problem, contact
EPSON
as described under “Where to Get
Help” in the Introduction.
Running a Self Test
You can run a printer self test to determine whether the
problem lies with the printer itself or some other source.
If the test results are satisfactory, the problem lies in
software settings, the interface cable, or your computer.
If the test pages don’t print correctly, you may have a
problem with your printer. See the suggestions in this
chapter for possible solutions.
Follow these steps to test the printer:
1.
Load several sheets of paper in the built-in sheet feeder,
making sure the right edge guide is positioned correctly for
your paper’s width and the paper release lever is in the
single sheet position. See page 3-6 for instructions.
2.
Turn off the printer.
3.
Hold down the
Load/Eject
button and press the
P
Operate
button to turn on the printer. Then release
both buttons. This prints the test pages at 360 dpi. (To
print test pages at 180 dpi, hold down the
LF/FF
button
while turning on the printer instead of
Load/Eject
.)
Caution:
Use paper that’s at least
8.3 inches (210
mm) wide
so ink doesn’t spray onto
the platen.
