TIPS and Troubleshooting
TIP 1: Run ‘Repair Disk Permissions’
Within the Apple Disk Utility, under the ‘First Aid’ tab, you have a choice to verify and repair your
disk permissions. We have found that by repairing your disk permissions about once per month,
you should run into less errors. This has been known to x the ‘Command Error’ notice that some-
times shows-up on the front control panel of the SP7600 or SP9600.
TIP 2: Turn ‘Off’ AppleTalk within the Epson Ethernet Card
If you get communication errors when printing via the network through an Epson internal Ether-
net card, verify your using that latest card (Epson part number: C12C823912) and turn ‘Off’ the
AppleTalk protocol via a web browser. (See your Ethernet card documentation for details)
As I’ve explained in this document, Mac OS X users should be conguring their Ethernet connec-
tions via TCP/IP not AppleTalk. By disabling ALL ethernet protocols except TCP/IP within the
Epson Ethernet card, your communication errors should stop.
TIP 3: Do not use older ‘Presets’ after installing an updated driver
When re-installing or updating your Epson printer driver, the older presets that you’ve dened with
the older driver may cause ‘Command Errors’ on the front LCD panel of the SP7600 or SP9600.
Simply delete the older presets and redened them through the newer driver. See your installation
documentation that came with your driver for more information.
TIP 4: Why are my ICC proles not showing up?
Under Mac OS X, ICC proles do not show up to either the OS or application software until after
you’ve installed the printer driver.
TIP 5: Stopping ‘Command Errors’ on the SP7600 or SP9600
The reason why a ‘Command Error’ shows up on your printer LCD panel is due to incorrect driver
code being sent to your printer. For example, your printer is set to Matte Black Mode, but your
driver thinks it’s still in Photo Black Mode. In most cases, the best way to solve this is to reinstall
your driver, delete your older presets, and repair your disk permissions.
Another reason why this happens is due to incorrect media input types being used. For example,
you have cut sheet media being used, but you selected a roll based driver from within the Print Cen-
ter Utility. Make sure your media type matches your installed driver.
