EPSON Stylus C62 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 interface cable from the printer. 2. Make sure letter-size or larger plain 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 green P power light starts to flash, then release it. The printer prints a nozzle check pattern. (If the pattern has white lines, you need to clean the print head; see page 7.) 4. Turn off the printer after it prints the check page. Then reconnect the 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 Printer Basics book. If nothing works, contact your dealer or EPSON.
