When using the printer in stand-alone mode, you can make
additional changes to your images before printing. For
example, you can crop your photos, make color
corrections, or add crop marks and date information. These
changes do not affect your original photo files, just the way
they're printed. For details, see the Printer Basics book.
Up to four additional print jobs can be prepared while the
first one is printing. You can select different photos to print,
but you can't change the paper size or type, or select a
layout that requires using a different paper size or type. If
you want to print on a different kind of paper, wait until the
printer has finished printing.
To cancel a print job while printing, press the
button.
Additional Stand-alone Features
See the Printer Basics book for information on other features
that are available when printing without a computer:
❏ cropping, adjusting, and enhancing photos
❏ using a Zip drive to back up photos from a memory card
❏ loading roll paper and selecting roll paper cutting options

Testing the Printer

You can run a printer self-test to determine whether a problem
comes from the printer itself or some other source.
1. Make sure both the printer and computer are turned off.
Then disconnect the USB cable from the printer.
2. Make sure letter-size or larger paper is loaded in the printer.
3. Hold down the z roll paper button, then press and release
the P power button.
The printer prints a test page showing its ROM version
as the
number and a nozzle check pattern. (If the pattern has gaps,
you need to clean the print head; see page 9.)
❏ If the test page prints, the problem probably lies in your
memory card, software settings, interface cable, or
computer. Your software may not be installed correctly.
❏ If the test page doesn't print, you may have a problem
with the printer. Try the suggestions in the Printer
Basics book. If you can't solve the problem yourself,
contact your dealer or EPSON.
4. After examining the test page, remember to turn off the
printer and reconnect its cable to your computer.
