Running a printer operation check
If you are connecting via the USB interface and are having difficulty printing, the problem may be related to your USB connection. Refer to Correcting USB Problems for details.
If your problem is not USB related, troubleshooting printer problems is best handled in two easy steps: first diagnose the problem, then apply likely solutions until the problem is fixed.
The information that you need to diagnose and solve most common problems is provided by the printer's control panel, the EPSON Status Monitor utility, or by running a printer operation check. Refer to the appropriate section below.
If you have a specific problem relating to print quality, a printout problem not related to print quality, or a paper feeding problem, or if the printer does not print at all, refer to the appropriate section in this chapter.
To solve a problem, you may need to cancel printing. For details, see Cancelling Printing.

Running a printer operation check
If you are unable to determine the source of the problem, performing a printer operation check can help you determine whether the problem comes from the printer or the computer.
To print a printer operation check page, follow these steps.
| If you use the parallel interface, make sure that both the printer and computer are turned off. If you use the USB interface, make sure that the PC is on and the printer is turned off. |
| Disconnect the cable from the printer's interface connector. |
If you use the parallel interface, unlock the wire clips on both sides of the interface connector, remove the ground connector if necessary, and then disconnect the cable from the printer's interface connector.
If you use the USB interface, make sure that your PC is on when connecting the cable; otherwise, the PC may not recognize the printer.
| Make sure that A4 or Letter size paper is loaded in the sheet feeder. |
| Hold down the paper button and press the power button to turn on the printer. Then, release only the power button. When the printer starts the operation check, release the paper button. |
The printer prints an operation check page which includes the version of your printer's ROM, the ink counter code, and a nozzle check pattern.
Print Light On Canon Ts3322 Printer
Compare the quality of the printed test page with the sample shown below. If there are no print quality problems, the printer itself is fine and the problem probably lies with the printer software settings, the application settings, the interface cable (be sure to use a shielded cable), or the computer itself.
If the test page does not print satisfactorily, there is a problem with the printer. For example, if bands appear in the check pattern as shown below, this could mean a clogged ink nozzle or a misaligned print head.
