The P power light flashes and the printer makes noise until it's finished. Don't turn off the printer or interrupt the charging process or it will start over, using more ink than necessary. Charging is finished when the P power light stops flashing and stays on. Never turn off the printer while the P power light is flashing, unless the printer hasn't moved or made any noise for more than 5 minutes. Testing the Printer You can run a printer operation check to determine whether the problem comes from the printer itself or some other source. If the test pattern page prints, the problem most likely lies in your software or application settings, the interface cable, or your computer. If the test pattern page does not print correctly, you may have a problem with your printer. 1. Make sure both the printer and computer are turned off. 2. Disconnect the interface cable from the printer. 3. Make sure paper is loaded in the printer. 4. Hold down the E load/eject button, then press and release the Ppower button. Continue holding down the E load/eject button until the Ppower light starts to flash, then release it. The printer prints its ROM version number, an ink counter code, and a nozzle check pattern. 5. To end the check, turn off the printer. Then reconnect the interface cable and turn on your printer and computer. 6 - EPSON Stylus Photo 1200 3/99
