Epson Stylus NX230 Troubleshooting

Common causes for the printer not turning on are listed below.

If the printer will not turn on, then the battery on the printer could be dead. In this case, you may need to replace the battery.

If the battery is not the problem, then the printer may not be receiving any power through the cord. You should check to ensure that the power cord is properly inserted into the wall outlet. However, if there is still no response from the printer, you may need to replace the power cord. You can replace the power cord by purchasing a one from Amazon.

If the power cord is properly attached to the printer and the battery is functional, then it is possible that the power button is unresponsive. You may need to replace the button.

The printer may not print for many reasons.

If your printer is not printing, it may not have any paper loaded in it. To load more paper in the printer, open the paper tray and fill it.

If the printer has paper and still will not print, the paper may be jammed. To fix a paper jam, remove the paper and realign it within the paper tray. Check to make sure no paper is stuck in the paper feed and then try to reprint the documents.

If the printer is not printing, it may be due to a faulty connection between the computer and the printer. Check to make sure that the cable is properly connected to both the printer and the computer.

If the printer is not printing, then the motor that feeds the paper through the printing mechanism may not be working. You may need to replace the motor.

A longer printing time occurs by design.

If the rate at which the printer is printing has noticeably decreased, then the printer has slowed itself down to prevent overheating. To fix this, the printer should not be used for thirty minutes to allow it to cool down.

Various reasons could cause the printer to produce blank pages.

If the printer is only producing blank pages, then the ink cartridges could be empty. Check to see if you need to replace the ink cartridges.

If the ink cartridges are not empty, they may have been inserted incorrectly. In this case, you will need to remove them and re-insert them.

If the printer paper comes out blank because the ink tray is unable to move, then the driver motor could be broken. First, you may simply need to check the alignment of the motor and ink tray. If it is properly aligned, then it may need to be replaced .

Exclusively grayscale printed documents may result from a few reasons.

If the printer is not printing any color pages, then one of the color ink cartridges may be empty. To fix the empty tray, you may need to replace the ink cartridge with a new color cartridge.

Even if the printer is full of colored ink, if its settings are selected as 'grayscale', then the printed pages will be in black and white. You may need to go into the printer properties on your computer and choose 'color'.

Scanner inactivity may arise from the following conditions .

If the scanner does not respond to any of the buttons, then the scan button may not be functioning correctly. You may need to replace the buttons.

If the printer will not scan, then the motor could be misaligned. If the motor is properly aligned, then the motor is damaged and may need to be replaced.
