The printer prints blank pages. Make sure EPSON Stylus Pro or Pro XL is selected as the default Windows printer driver (PC driver) or is the last printer selected in the Chooser (Macintosh driver). Make sure you selected the correct Paper Size option in the printer driver; see your Setup and Software Guide for instructions. Also make sure the margins you selected in your application software fit the paper size you're using. Verify that the ink cartridges are not empty by running a self test. Text printing is slow. You may be using printer driver settings that are more suitable for graphics printing and unnecessarily slowing down text printing. To speed up text printing only, turn off MicroWeave mode and turn on High Speed mode. Some combinations of Printing Mode (resolution) and Media Type do not allow you to select these settings; if this is the case for your settings, select a lower resolution, possibly using 180 dpi for drafts and 360 dpi for your final output. However, do not turn off MicroWeave when printing final copies of high-quality graphics or photographs. Ink cartridges do not last as long as expected. The ink cartridge life depends on the amount of ink used in printing. If you often print pages with large graphics and dense text, you will use up cartridges faster than if you print pages with less ink coverage. Cleaning the print heads more often than necessary also consumes ink. Maintenance and Troubleshooting 3-19
