Problem
Solutions: The Epson EPL-7000 printer has two built-in print tests: the self test and the status sheet. These tests let you check the operation of your printer and print a list of current printer settings. You do not need to connect the printer to your computer to run these tests. Make sure the printer is plugged in and the imaging cartridge is installed; then turn on the power by pressing the vertical bar on the power switch located at the back of the printer. All of the lights on the control panel light briefly at power on. Messages appear on the control panel as the printer performs a series of internal tests and warms up. It takes approximately 70 seconds for the printer to complete its power-on routine. When the "Ready" message appears, you can continue with the test print operation. Selecting and running a test print The printer has two SelecType levers. The status sheet feature is in SelecType Level 1 and the test print feature is in Level 2. 1. Hold down the SelecType button until the Level 2 indicator light goes on and "Test Print" appears on the display. If you have entered SelecType before, "Test Print" may not be the first option to appear. If the Level 2 indicator is on, you can press the Up or Down Arrow until "Test Print" appears on the display. Then go on to step 2. If you did not hold down the button long enough to enter Level 2, the Level 1 indicator goes on. If this happens, press the SelecType button once to exit SelecType and repeat step 1. 2. Press the Right Arrow once. The display reads as follows: "Pattern 1 Print" 3. To run the test, press the Right Arrow once more. The printer prints a test pattern of vertical lines and ejects the page face-down on top of the printer. After the page has printed, the printer returns to the main menu and the display shows, "Test Print." Printing a status sheet In addition to the test print patterns, you can print a status sheet that lists printer settings for your selected channel. Note: The status sheet prints the printer's current settings. If you change the macro number setting for the Load Macro option in the System Config submenu, the status sheet prints out the new macro settings. Macro O is the factory default setting. Follow these steps to print the status sheet: 1. Make sure that your printer is plugged in and the power is on. 2. Press SelecType once to enter the SelecType Level 1. If you have used SelecType before, and if the printer is set up to use both channels, the following option appears on the display: 5 CH SELECT Press the Left or Right Arrow to choose your channel, then go on to step 3. 3. Hold down the Down Arrow until "Status Sheet" appears on the display. 4. Press the Right Arrow to print the status sheet. |
