Follow the guidelines below when you check the control panel lights:
P is on The
Ppower light is on when the printer is ready to print. It flashes
when the printer is receiving a print job, charging ink, or cleaning the
print head.
S
flashes When the
S paper out light flashes, you have a paper jam. Press the
E load/eject button to try to clear the jam. If that doesn’t work, turn off
the printer and gently pull the paper forward (toward the output tray) to
pull it out. Don’t pull the paper backward (toward the paper support). If
you can’t pull it out through the output tray, contact your dealer or
EPSON. Make sure none of the sheets are curled, creased, old, stuck
together, or too thin. Then reload the paper against the right edge
guide and slide the left edge guide against it. Turn on the printer and
press the
E load/eject button to resume printing.
S
is on When the
S paper out light comes on, your paper is out or incorrectly
loaded. Make sure none of the sheets are curled, creased, old, stuck
together, or too thin. Then reload the paper against the right edge
guide and slide the left edge guide against it. Press the
E load/eject
button to resume printing.

Make sure you have a replacement cartridge. See page 24 for
replacement instructions. If an ink out light comes on after you’ve
replaced a cartridge, you installed a cartridge your printer can’t use.
Remove it and replace it with the correct type.
