The P power light flashes and you hear the ink charging. Wait until ink charging is finished (the P power light stops flashing). Caution: Don't turn off the printer or interrupt charging while the P power light is flashing or you'll use up more ink than necessary when you turn it back on. Testing the Printer You can run a printer check to determine whether a problem comes from the printer itself or some other source. 1. Make sure both the printer and computer are turned off. Then disconnect the USB cable from the printer. 2. Make sure letter-size or larger paper is loaded in the printer. 3. Hold down the b maintenance button, then press and release the Ppower button. Continue holding down the b maintenance button until the P power light starts to flash, then release it. The printer prints one page showing its ROM version number and a nozzle check pattern. (If the pattern has gaps in its dots, you need to clean the print head; see page 7.) 4. Turn off the printer after it prints the check page. Then reconnect the USB cable and turn on your printer and computer. ■ If the check page prints, the problem probably lies in your software settings, interface cable, or computer. Your software may not be installed correctly. ■ If the check page doesn't print, you may have a problem with your printer. Try the suggestions in the electronic User's Guide on the printer software CD-ROM. If nothing works, contact your dealer or EPSON.
