Solving Problems

If you have a problem with your Epson® product, check the messages on the LCD screen to diagnose the cause of most problems.
You can also check the basic troubleshooting suggestions below. For more in- depth troubleshooting, see your online User’s Guide or FAQs at www.epson.com/support (U.S.) or www.epson.ca/support (Canada).

Network Problems

Try connecting to the wireless router or access point with your computer or another device to confirm that it is working correctly.
Make sure that the wireless network supports 2.4 Ghz. The product cannot connect to a 5 Ghz network.
Try restarting the router (turn it off and then on), then try to connect to it again.
Verify that the network settings are correct and check the signal strength. If it is poor, try moving the product closer to your router or access point.
When using TCP/IP, make sure your network’s DHCP option is enabled (your router manufacturer will be able to assist you with this setting).
Print a network status sheet from the product’s control panel. Press if necessary and tap the Settings icon. Then select General Settings > Network Settings > Network Status > Print Status Sheet. Then press the Print button.
Remove and reinstall your product software.

Paper Feeds Incorrectly in the ADF

Make sure your originals are not creased or folded, and do not contain holes, staples, tape, or other materials that could obstruct the feeder.
Check that the side and front edge guides are set firmly against the original that you are copying, but are not too tight.
Fan your stack of originals and tap them gently on a flat surface to even the edges.

Epson America, Inc. Limited Warranty

What Is Covered: Epson America, Inc. (“Epson”) warrants to the original retail purchaser that the Epson printer covered by this limited warranty statement, if purchased and operated only in the United States, Canada, or Puerto Rico, will be free from defects in workmanship and materials for a period of one (1) year from the date of original purchase. For warranty service, you must provide proof of the date of original purchase.

What Epson Will Do To Correct Problems: Should your Epson printer prove defective during the warranty period, please call the Epson ConnectionSM at 562-276-4382 (U.S.) or 905-709-3839 (Canada) for warranty repair instructions and return authorization. An Epson service technician will provide telephone diagnostic service to determine whether the printer requires service. If service is needed, Epson will, at its option, exchange or repair the printer without charge for parts or labor. If Epson authorizes an exchange for the defective unit, Epson will ship a replacement printer to you, freight prepaid, so long as you use an address in the United States, Canada, or Puerto Rico. You are responsible for securely packaging the defective unit and returning it to Epson within five (5) working days of receipt of the replacement. Epson requires a debit or a credit card number to secure the cost of the replacement printer in the event that you fail to return the defective one. If Epson authorizes repair instead of exchange, Epson will direct you to send your printer to Epson or its authorized service center, where the printer will be repaired and sent back to you. You are responsible for packing the printer and for all costs to and from the Epson authorized service center. When warranty service involves the exchange of the printer or a part, the item replaced becomes Epson property. The replacement printer or part may be new or refurbished to the Epson standard of quality, and, at Epson’s option, may be another model of like kind and quality. Exchange products and parts assume the remaining warranty period of your original product covered by this limited warranty.

What This Warranty Does Not Cover: This warranty covers only normal use in the United States, Canada, or Puerto Rico. Excessive, continuous use is not considered normal use; damage, maintenance or service from such use will not be covered under this warranty. This warranty is not transferable. This warranty does not cover any color change or fading of prints or reimbursement of materials or services required for reprinting. This warranty does not cover damage to the Epson product caused by parts or supplies not manufactured, distributed or certified by Epson. This warranty does not cover ink cartridges, ink supply units, or ink packs. This warranty does not cover third party parts, components, or peripheral devices added to the Epson product after its shipment from Epson, e.g., dealer or user-added boards or components. Epson is not responsible for warranty service should the Epson label or logo or the rating label or serial number be removed or should the product fail to be properly maintained or fail to function properly as a result of misuse, abuse, improper installation, neglect, improper shipping, damage caused by disasters such as fire, flood, and lightning, improper electrical current, software problems, interaction with non-Epson products, or service other than by an Epson Authorized Servicer. If a claimed defect cannot be identified or reproduced, you will be held responsible for the costs incurred.

DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES: THE WARRANTY AND REMEDY PROVIDED ABOVE ARE EXCLUSIVE AND IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, NONINFRINGEMENT OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. SOME LAWS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES. IF THESE LAWS APPLY, THEN ALL EXPRESS AND IMPLIED WARRANTIES ARE LIMITED TO THE WARRANTY PERIOD IDENTIFIED ABOVE. UNLESS STATED HEREIN, ANY STATEMENTS OR REPRESENTATIONS MADE BY ANY OTHER PERSON OR FIRM ARE VOID.

EXCLUSION OF DAMAGES; EPSON’S MAXIMUM LIABILITY: IN NO EVENT SHALL EPSON OR ITS AFFILIATES BE LIABLE FOR ANY SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OR ANY LOST PROFITS RESULTING FROM THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE EPSON PRODUCT, WHETHER RESULTING FROM BREACH OF WARRANTY OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY. IN NO EVENT SHALL EPSON OR ITS AFFILIATES BE LIABLE FOR DAMAGES OF ANY KIND IN EXCESS OF THE ORIGINAL RETAIL PURCHASE PRICE OF THE PRODUCT.

Arbitration, Governing Laws: Any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to this warranty shall be determined by arbitration in Los Angeles County, California before a single arbitrator. The arbitration shall be administered by JAMS pursuant to its Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures. Judgment on the award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. Any action must be brought within three months of the expiration of the warranty. This clause shall not preclude parties from seeking provisional remedies in aid of arbitration from a court of appropriate jurisdiction. This warranty shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, except this arbitration clause which shall be construed in accordance with the Federal Arbitration Act.

Other Rights You May Have: This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights which vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. Some jurisdictions do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, or allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitations or exclusions may not apply to you.
In Canada, warranties include both warranties and conditions.
