http://support.epson.net/symbols
When setting up the printer
❏Do not place the printer on an unstable surface or near a radiator or heat source.
❏Place the printer on a flat, stable surface. The printer will not operate properly if it is tilted or placed
at an angle.
PLQ-35 User’s Guide
Important Instructions 9
❏Do not place this product on a soft, unstable surface like a bed or a sofa, or a small, enclosed area, as
this restricts ventilation.
❏Do not block or cover the slots and openings in the printer’s cabinet, and do not insert objects
through the slots.
❏Leave adequate room around the printer for easy operation and maintenance.
❏When connecting this product to a computer or other device with a cable, ensure the correct
orientation of the connectors. Each connector has only one correct orientation. Inserting a
connector in the wrong orientation may damage both devices connected by the cable.
❏Use only the type of power source indicated on the printer’s label. If you are not sure of the power
supply specifications in your area, contact your local power company or consult your dealer.
❏Connect all equipment to properly grounded electrical outlets. Avoid using outlets on the same
circuit as photocopiers or air control systems that regularly switch on and off.
❏Do not use a damaged or frayed power cord.
❏The power cord should be placed to avoid abrasions, cuts, fraying, crimping, kinking, and other
damage.
❏If you use an extension cord with the printer, make sure the total ampere rating of all devices
plugged into the extension cord does not exceed the cord’s ampere rating. Also, make sure the total
ampere of all devices plugged into the electrical outlet does not exceed the electrical outlet’s
ampere rating.
❏Use only the power cord that comes with this product. Use of another cord may result in fire or
electric shock.
❏This product’s power cord is for use with this product only. Use with other equipment may result
in fire or electric shock.
❏Be sure the AC power cord meets the relevant local safety standards.
❏Avoid using or storing the printer in places subject to rapid changes in temperature and humidity.
Also keep it away from direct sunlight, strong light, heat sources, or excessive moisture or dust.
❏Avoid places subject to shocks and vibrations.
❏Place the printer near a wall outlet where you can easily unplug the power cord.
❏Keep the entire computer system away from potential sources of electromagnetic interference,
such as loudspeakers or the base units of cordless telephones.
PLQ-35 User’s Guide
Important Instructions 10
❏Avoid electrical outlets controlled by wall switches or automatic timers. An interruption in power
can erase information in the memory of your printer or computer. Also avoid outlets on the same
circuit as large motors or other appliances that can cause voltage fluctuations.
❏Use a grounded power outlet; do not use an adapter plug.
❏If you plan to use a printer stand, follow these guidelines:
- Use a stand that can support at least twice the weight of the printer.
- Never use a stand that tilts the printer. The printer should always be kept level.
- Position your printer’s power cord and interface cable so they do not interfere with paper
feeding. If possible, secure the cables to a leg of the printer stand.
❏Do not place near the CRT display which emits strong electromagnetic wave.
When maintaining the printer
❏Unplug the printer before cleaning it, and always clean it with a piece of damp cloth only.
❏Do not spill liquid onto the printer.
❏Do not attempt to service the printer yourself except as specifically explained in this guide.
❏Unplug the printer and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following
conditions:
i. If the power cord or plug is damaged.
ii. If liquid has entered the printer.
iii. If the printer has been dropped or the cabinet damaged.
iv. If the printer does not operate normally or exhibits a distinct change in performance.
❏Do not use aerosol blowers which contain flammable gas inside or around this product. Doing so
may cause fire.
❏Adjust only those controls that are covered by the operating instructions.
❏Do not touch the white cable inside the printer.
PLQ-35 User’s Guide

Troubleshooting
Diagnosing the Problem
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 you need to diagnose and solve most common problems is provided by the printer’s
control panel, or by printing a self-test. 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.
Printing Your Printer’s Current Settings
It is also useful to know your printer’s current setting status, especially the printer mode that your
printer is operating in to identify the problem.
Follow these steps to enter the printer default setting mode to print the printer’s current default
settings:
Note:
❏Prepare an A4 size sheet of paper before entering the default setting mode.
❏You need to load a new sheet of paper each time the printer ejects a printed sheet from the front
slot.
❏Always close the printer cover before printing. The printer does not print when the printer cover is
open.
1. Turn off the printer.
!
Caution:
Whenever you turn off the printer, wait at least five seconds before turning it back on;
otherwise you may damage the printer.
PLQ-35 User’s Guide
Troubleshooting 44
2. Turn on the printer while holding the F1/Eject and F2 buttons on the control panel.
3. When the Ready light turns on, insert a sheet of A4 paper into the front slot. The printer prints the
version number, and depending on the location, the language selection for the default settings
menu. The selected language is underlined. Select the language by pressing the F1/Eject button.
Press the F2 button to set the language.
4. The printer prints a message asking if you want to print the current settings. Press the F2 button to
start printing. The setting that is currently selected for each item is underlined.
5. Turn off the printer to exit the default setting mode.
Checking Error Indicators
You can identify common printer problems using the lights on the control panel. If your printer stops
working and one or more control panel lights are on or flashing or the printer beeps, use the following
table to diagnose and fix the problem. If you cannot fix your problem using this table, see “Problems
and Solutions” on page 46.
If you cannot fix your problem using this table, see “Problems and Solutions” on page 46.

Problems and Solutions
Most problems you may encounter while operating your printer have simple solutions.
You can check the operation of your printer using the self test. See “Printing a Self Test” on page 53. If
the self test works properly the problem probably lies in the computer, the application software, or the
interface cable. If the self test does not work, contact your dealer or a qualified service person for
assistance.

Cause What to do
The interface cable is broken or twisted. Check that the interface cable is not broken or twisted. If you have
another interface cable, replace the cable and check whether the
printer works correctly.
The printer is not connected directly to your
computer.
When you use a printer changer, printer buffer, or a extension
cable, the printer does not print correctly due to the combination
of these devices. Make sure that the printer works correctly when it
is connected to your computer without these devices.
The printer driver is not installed correctly. Check that the printer driver is installed properly. If necessary,
reinstall the printer driver.
