How to Repair an Epson R2400 That Is Broken and Won't Print

The Epson Stylus Photo R2400 normally will respond to print job requests by starting to process the job. If the printer is out of paper or experiencing another problem, you should see an error message displayed on the printer's screen. If you see no error, there are other possible causes of the printer's inability to print, which you can troubleshoot yourself before finally taking the printer to a repair shop.

• 1

  Check the printer cable and the electrical cord to make sure they are plugged in tightly at both ends. Unplug the printer cable and plug it back in if the connection seems loose.

• 2

  Turn off the printer and the attached computer. Unplug the printer cable from the printer and make sure there is paper in the input tray.

• 3

  Hold the "Paper" button on the printer as you press the "Power" button briefly. Keep holding the "Paper" button until the "Power" button starts to flash.

• 4

  Uninstall the printer's software if the test page prints; otherwise, take the printer to a repair shop. Click the computer's "Start" or "Windows" button, then click "Add/Remove Programs" and click "Uninstall" next to the R2400's software.

  Insert the printer's installation disc in the computer's optical drive. Follow the instructions on the screen to install the software properly, including plugging the printer cord back into the printer at the correct time.
