4. Uninstalling the Driver:

=======================================================================

	When you're reinstalling the printer driver or installing a printer driver for a second 

	port, make sure to do the following:



	* Check that all print jobs have finished printing before you begin installation.

	* Close all applications

	* Run the "EPSON Printer Utility Uninstall" program using the following steps:

		- Click on "Start"

		- Click on "Settings"

		- Select "Control Panel"

		- Double click the "Add/Remove Programs" icon

		- Select the "EPSON Printer Software" from the list and click

		  "Change/Remove" 

	Note:

	If you are unable to close the "Add/Remove Programs" window by clicking 

	"Close", click the Close [X] button at the upper right corner of the window.

	This problem does not effect the printer driver uninstallation.



5. Q & A

==========================================================================

Q: The error message "Insufficient memory to print. " is displayed, printing cannot be carried out. Why?

	A: There is insufficient memory for printing. To resolve this problem, try the following:

    		* Add more memory to your system

    		* Increase the size of Virtual Memory

		       For details on this method please consult the Windows Help page 

		       titled "To change the size of the virtual memory paging file"



Q: The error message "Insufficient disk space to print" is displayed, printing cannot be carried out. Why?

	A: There is insufficient free hard disk space to carry out the print job.

	      To resolve this problem, try the following:

û0	Increase the amount of free disk space on your Hard Disk

û0	Move the spool file to a second Hard Drive if available.

		 

	Q: The error message "A Fatal Error has occurred. Unable to print. Please consult the 

	     'ReadMe' file for more information." is displayed, printing cannot be carried out. 

	     Why?

	A: The printer driver is not installed correctly. As per the instructions listed in Section 3

	      (Driver Installation Notes) of this ReadMe, please re-install the printer driver.



	Q: Cannot print. There is no error message displayed.

	A: If you  print a document with images that are Tiff files, after specifying the resolution 

	     of either 1440dpi or 720dpi where "Finest Detail" has been selected in the driver 

settings, some Drawing software applications may create a large quantity of interim print data.

In order to print with such a software application,  a large quantity of both Virtual Memory and free Hard Disk space is needed.

  	     Without enough Virtual Memory and free Hard Disk space, the software can't allocate the 

	     required Memory and may possibly lose the print data during spooling and/or greatly 

	     slow down the print job. 

  

	     In order to avoid the above problem:

    		* Add more memory to your system

    		* Increase the Virtual Memory

		       For details on this method please consult the Windows Help page 

		       titled "To change the size of the virtual memory paging file"

    		* Expand the amount of free space on your Hard Disk



	Q: After I changed print settings, the print output is not what I expected. Paragraph 

	     positioning is off, and text or graphics are missing.  Why?	

	A: This problem can occur when settings for Print Quality, Reduce/Enlarge, or Print 

	     Layout have changed since the document was created.

	     Try adjusting margins and font sizes. When you change the printing size by the 

	     Reduce/Enlarge printing item, sometimes the edges of your document are not printed. 

	     Make sure to place enough spaces to the edges of your document when you use 

	     the Reduce/Enlarge printing. 



	Q: Color Gradations (Gradual shift in color) are not printed correctly. Can this be 

	     corrected?	

	A: This problem occurs as result of a difference between the Application color 

	     handling method and the Driver Automatic Color Correction method. 

	     Try following the steps below to correct the problem.

		1) From the application's File menu, select Print.

		2) Click Properties.

		3) Select Custom from the Main menu.

		4) Click Advanced.

		5) Select Photo-realistic or Vivid from Color Adjustment - Mode selection.
