Common Issues and Solutions
1. Driver Installation Problems
If you’re having trouble installing the driver, make sure you’ve downloaded it from the official Epson website. Try running the installer as an administrator by right-clicking the file and selecting “Run as administrator.” Also, temporarily disable your antivirus software during installation, as it may block the process.
2. Connectivity Errors
If your printer isn’t connecting via Wi-Fi, check that both your printer and computer are on the same network. Restart your router and printer, then try reconnecting. For USB connections, ensure the cable is firmly plugged in and try a different USB port.
3. Paper Jams
If paper gets stuck inside the printer, gently pull out the jammed paper without tearing it. Make sure to remove all scraps to avoid further jams. Always use the recommended paper type and avoid overloading the paper tray.
4. Poor Print Quality
If prints come out blurry, streaked, or faded, run the printer’s built-in cleaning cycle through the printer software. Check ink levels and refill the tanks if needed. Also, ensure you’re using the correct print settings for your task.
