Note:
If you use roll paper other than Epson special media, see the user documentation included with the paper, or contact your supplier.

Try one or more of these solutions:

  • Before loading paper and guiding it through the paper insertion slot, adjust paper suction.
To adjust the paper suction using the printer driver, see Paper Configuration for Windows, or see Paper Configuration for Mac OS X.

Roll paper does not eject properly

Roll paper is wound tightly and may feed with a curl. If so, attach the paper guides to the printer.

Caution:
The paper guides only need to be used when the paper feeds with a curl; otherwise your printouts may be damaged.
Note:
There are two paper guides for EPSON Stylus Pro 7800 and five for EPSON Stylus Pro 9800.

When feeding paper forward

Attach the paper guides to the printer so they rest on the front of the paper basket.

When feeding paper backward

When you feed the roll paper backward, gently pinch the upper part of each paper guide and push it to the back position to allow the printout to come out properly.

Clearing paper jams

To remove jammed paper, follow these steps:

If roll paper is jammed, cut the paper at the paper insertion slot.
Set the paper lever to the released position to release the paper.
Open the front cover if necessary.
Carefully pull down the jammed paper.
Note:
Do not touch the circuit board attached to the printer head when handling the jammed paper.
Close the front cover, if necessary, then press the Power button to turn the printer off and back on.
Make sure that the Paper check light is on and PAPER OUT. LOAD PAPER is displayed on the LCD panel. To load the paper, see Using Roll Paper or Using Cut Sheet Media.

If you do not resume printing afterwards, make sure the print heads are in the home (far right) position. If not, turn the printer on, wait until the print heads move to the home position, then turn off the printer.

Caution:
If the print heads are not left in the home position, print quality may decline.

Troubleshooting on the Optional Auto Take-up Reel Unit

Try one or more of these solutions:

  • The roll paper may not have sufficient slack around the auto take-up reel unit. Make sure that there is adequate slack between the roll paper and the take-up reel core. See Loading roll paper onto the take-up reel core.
  • The Auto switch on the auto take-up reel unit may not be positioned for the direction you want. Select a direction using the Auto switch on the control box. See Taking-up your prints.
  • If the Sensor light flashes slowly when you are not printing, there may be an external obstacle between the emitter and detector, or sensor adjustment may not be set properly. Check for an obstacle in the space where the paper is needed for taking up, or adjust the sensor position. See Adjusting the sensor.
  • If the Sensor light is still flashing, the printer will print the job for approximately three meters and stop printing. Set the paper lever to the released position, then check that the roll paper is set properly and that there is no external obstruction in the sensor detection area. If the roll paper is not set properly, wind the excess paper up and set the paper lever to the secured position.
  • If the Sensor light is flashing rapidly, the auto take-up reel unit is locked. Turn the printer OFF and ON again.
  • If the Sensor light is off, the sensor cable may not be connected properly. Check the connection of the sensor cables.
