Replacing the Imaging Cartridge Your printer’s imaging cartridge can print up to 10,000 pages, depending on how complex your print jobs are. There are several ways to tell when you need to replace a cartridge: ❏ You see a Toner Low message on the control panel display ❏ You see a Toner Out message on the display ❏ You notice that printing is faint and the Toner function in SelecType tells you that you have 0 to 25% toner capacity.
c Caution: Do not turn the imaging cartridge upside down. Do not expose the imaging cartridge to light any longer than necessary. 5. Unpack the new imaging cartridge and hold it level with the oval handle face up. Then shake the cartridge as shown to distribute the toner. 6. Grab the tab on the left side and pull the clear tape all the way out of the cartridge. Throw the tape away.
7. Now shake the cartridge again as shown to distribute the toner. 8. Holding the cartridge by its handle, insert the pins on each side of the cartridge into the grooves inside the printer. (Two arrows inside the printer point to the grooves.) Gently slide the cartridge into place. Push down on the handle until the cartridge is horizontal.
9. Close the top cover. 10. Select Toner Count Clear on the SelecType Setup menu to reset the toner counter. See Chapter 3 for instructions. Adjusting the RITech Setting EPSON’s new Resolution Improvement Technology (RITech) automatically improves the print quality of your lines, text, and graphics. Most of the time it works behind the scenes to provide the best printed output.
2. Press the Enter button twice to print the status sheet. At the bottom of the sheet you see the RITech test pattern: correct RITech setting incorrect RITech setting 3. If the test pattern looks correct, do not change the RITech setting. If it looks incorrect, go to step 4. 4. Open an application program and access the printer driver. (See Chapter 2 for instructions.) Note: If you are using the Windows 3.
10. Now print a page from your application to check the print quality. If the quality is good, you’re finished. If the quality needs further improvement, go to step 11. 11. Access the printer driver again and click Device Options or Printer SelecType. 12. Change the Toner Density setting to Dark or Darkest (if the RITech test pattern was too light) or Light or Lightest (if the test pattern was too dark). Note: If you are using the Windows 3.
Cleaning the Printer The printer needs only minimal cleaning. If you notice a decline in print quality, clean the glass lens and the inside of the printer, as described in this section. If toner spills inside the printer, do not use the printer until you remove all the spilled toner. If the printer case gets dirty, turn off the printer and clean it with a soft cloth slightly dampened with mild soap. c Caution: Never use alcohol or thinner to clean the printer; they may damage the printer.
4. Remove any dirt or toner inside with a soft dry cloth. If there is a lot of spilled toner, remove it with a small vacuum cleaner (available at computer supply stores). Toner can damage some vacuum cleaners, so make sure the vacuum can safely remove toner or other fine powders before you use it. c Caution: If you get toner on your clothing, remove it with cold water. Do not use hot water; it may cause a permanent stain.
5. Clean the printer’s lens by wiping it from end to end with a dry, lint-free cloth. 6. Replace the imaging cartridge. 7. Close the top cover and open the front cover. 8. Remove any paper from the multi-purpose paper tray. 9. Clean inside the paper feeder with a soft dry cloth. 10. Reload the paper and close the front cover.
Transporting the Printer If you need to transport or ship the printer, follow these steps: 1. Unplug the power cord from both the printer and the electrical outlet. 2. Disconnect all interface cables. 3. Remove the imaging cartridge and place it in a sealable plastic bag.

Diagnosing Problems The printer’s control panel display indicates the status of the printer as well as providing warning and error messages if a problem occurs. The next section lists the possible control panel display messages in alphabetical order. If you are an experienced user and suspect a communication problem between your printer and computer, you can set the printer to Hex dump mode (hexadecimal data dump). You then print out codes and give them to a technician to help solve the problem.
Check Serial I/F Serial printing is specified for the current print job, but you have not configured printer settings. Reset the printer (press ALT and Continue simultaneously), then set parity, baud rate, number of data bits, and number of stop bits to match your computer’s serial settings. You can change serial printer settings using SelecType (see “Serial Menu” in Chapter 3) or the Remote Control Utility (see the Technical Information manual).
Note: If you are printing from a Windows application, make changes to the printer settings through the printer driver, if possible. EPL-N2000 Printer Name is set to ON in the SelecType Setup menu. Feed Jam Paper is not feeding into the printer from the specified feeder or has jammed on its way into the printer. Remove the jammed paper as described on page 6-10. Form Feed The printer is off line and data remains in the printer’s memory. Press Form Feed to print out the data and clear the buffer.
Illegal Card An incompatible PCMCIA card is installed in the printer. You can either turn off the printer to remove the card, or remove the card while the printer is on. Press Continue to clear the message. Image Optimum The printer cannot print at the requested quality level because of insufficient memory. The printer reduces the quality automatically so that it can continue printing. Check to see if the printout is acceptable.
If you add more memory and you still receive a Mem Overflow message, change the Page Protect setting in the printer driver; see “Using the EPL-N2000 Driver” in Chapter 2 for details. (If you are using the Windows 3.1 EPSONScript driver, change the setting on the control panel as described in “Config Menu” in Chapter 3.) You can also add even more memory, or print at 300 dpi instead of 600 dpi. Operate Error Card The PCMCIA card was installed or removed while the printer was on.
Printer Open The printer cover is open; close it to continue printing. RAM Check The printer is checking the RAM; wait a moment for it to finish. ROM Check The printer is checking the ROM; wait a moment for it to finish. Ready The printer is ready to print. Reset The printer’s current interface has been reset and the buffer is cleared. However, other interfaces may still be active and retain their settings and data.
Service Req.Cnnn Service Req.Ennn A controller error (Cnnn) or a print engine error (Ennn) has occurred. Write down the error number and turn off the printer. Wait at least five seconds and then turn it back on. If the error message still appears, turn off the printer, unplug the power cord, and contact an authorized EPSON Customer Care Center. Standby The printer is in its low power state. If the On Line light is on, it is still on line and you may send a print job.
Write Error Card Write Error SIMM The printer is not able to write to the PCMCIA card. Do one of the following: (1) turn off the printer, remove the card, then turn the printer on again; (2) remove the card while the printer is on, then press Continue to clear the message; (3) reset the printer by pressing ALT and Continue at the same time. Writing Card The printer is writing data to the PCMCIA card; wait a moment for it to finish.
Paper Feeding Problems If you have frequent paper feed or paper jam problems, try the following to prevent them: ❏ Use a higher-quality paper, one that is not too thin or rough. ❏ Fan the stack of paper and then tap the edges to align them before you load the stack. ❏ Be sure you do not load too much paper. ❏ Be sure to adjust the paper guides so that the paper can slide in freely. ❏ Never let more than 500 sheets accumulate in the output tray on top of the printer.
Fixing Paper Jams in the Multi-purpose Paper Tray If the printer stops and the Feed Jam or Paper Jam message appears, follow these steps: 1. Open the printer’s front cover. 2. Carefully remove all the paper in the multi-purpose paper tray and any sheets fed partially into the printer. 3. Open the printer’s top cover and remove any paper remaining in the printer. If necessary, remove the imaging cartridge to reach the paper. Replace the imaging cartridge when you are finished.
4. Check inside the Duplex Unit if you did not find the paper in the printer. First open the top cover, as shown in the illustration below. 5. Carefully free any jammed paper from the rollers.
6. Open the bottom cover if you did not find the paper in the top of the unit. Remove any jammed paper. 7. After you clear the jam, tap the edges of your stack of paper and reload it into the multi-purpose paper tray. Be careful not to load curled or wrinkled paper. 8. Close any open covers and press the Continue button. The jammed page’s print data is automatically reprinted.
5. Follow steps 3 through 6 under “Fixing Paper Jams in the Multi-purpose Paper Tray” above. 6. After you clear the jam, close any open covers and press the Continue button. The jammed page’s print data is automatically reprinted. Printing Problems This section describes solutions to problems you may encounter as you print.
If you are using the serial interface, set the baud rate, protocol, data bit, and related settings. See your computer manual for the correct settings and interface requirements. If you are using a parallel interface, check the Speed setting in SelecType to match the value the computer requires. You may have to set Speed to Normal and Bi-Di to Off if you are having communication problems with your printer. See Chapter 3 for details on setting SelecType settings.
The emulation setting for that port may not be correct. Specify the emulation mode with SelecType (see Chapter 3) or the Remote Control Panel utility (see the Technical Information manual). If the printer still does not print correctly, contact your dealer or an authorized EPSON Customer Care Center. The position of the printout on the page is incorrect. Make sure you are using the correct page length and margin settings in your application program. Graphics don’t print correctly.
Print out a status sheet by pressing the Enter button twice after the printer is warmed up and on line. If the status sheet prints correctly, check your interface cable connection and software settings for a solution. If blank pages continue to print, the problem may be with the printer. Turn off the printer and contact your authorized EPSON Customer Care Center. SelecType does not function as expected.
The printout has a dark or dirty-looking background. Lighten the Density setting in the printer driver; see Chapter 2 for details. If you’re using the Windows 3.1 EPSONScript driver, use the SelecType Config menu to change the density setting. Clean the paper path inside the printer with a clean, dry cloth; see “Cleaning the Printer” in Chapter 5 for instructions. To clean the internal printer components, try printing three pages containing only one character per page.
The printout contains toner smudges. Remove the imaging cartridge, shake it from side to side, and wipe the bottom of it with a clean, dry cloth. Then clean the paper path inside the printer; see “Cleaning the Printer” in Chapter 5 for instructions. Try cleaning the internal printer components by printing three pages with only one character per page. If the problem persists, replace the imaging cartridge as described in Chapter 5. The printout is missing portions of the image.
Take out the imaging cartridge, shake it from side to side, and then reinstall it. If the problem persists, replace the imaging cartridge as described in Chapter 5. The printout is too dark. Lighten the Density setting in the printer driver; see Chapter 2 for details. If you're using the Windows 3.1 EPSONScript driver, use the SelecType Config menu to change the Density setting. If the problem persists, replace the imaging cartridge as described in Chapter 5. The back side of the printed page is smudged.
