Center for more information.

printer. For example, your photos will look great printed on Epson Premium Photo
Paper Glossy (see “Using Special Papers” for more information).
4. Slide the edge guide against the paper, but not too tightly.
Note:
For details on paper and instructions on loading envelopes, see your on-screen Epson
Information Center.

Printing and Copying Problems
■
Make sure your paper is loaded printable side up (usually the whiter, brighter,
or glossy side). Load it short edge first, and against the right side. Don’t load
paper above the arrow mark inside the edge guide.
■
Make sure the type of paper you loaded matches the paper size and paper type
settings on the control panel or in your printer software (see page 38) when
copying or faxing.
Error Indicators 49
■
■
Use the Automatic Document Feeder to fax or scan legal-size documents, but
not to copy them. Letter-size paper is automatically selected for copying. If
you copy a legal-size document, your image will be cropped.
Make sure your original is positioned against the back left corner of the
scanner glass. If the edges are cropped, move your original away from the
edges slightly.
Paper Feeding Problems
If paper doesn’t feed correctly when printing, remove the paper and flip through
the stack to separate the sheets. Reload the paper against the right side and slide
the edge guide against it. Do not load too many sheets at once. Load up to 20
sheets of photo paper or 100 sheets of plain paper. Load other special papers one

If paper has jammed, follow these steps:
1. Gently pull out jammed paper from the output tray or sheet feeder.
2. If paper is stuck inside, press the P On button to turn off the WorkForce 310
Series. Then lift the scanner, remove the jammed paper and torn pieces, close
the scanner, and turn the WorkForce 310 Series back on.
If documents don’t feed correctly in the Automatic Document Feeder (ADF),
make sure the corners of the paper are not bent, folded, or curled. Do not load
more than 30 sheets of letter-size (or A4) or 10 sheets of legal-size paper at a time.
If documents have jammed:
1. Open the ADF cover and remove any jammed paper.
Caution:
Do not try to remove the paper without opening the ADF cover first, or you could
damage the mechanism.

necessary filter.
If you answer the phone and hear a fax tone and the call disconnects when you
hang up, make sure there is a phone or answering machine connected to the
EXT. port on the WorkForce 310 Series.
Print Quality Problems
■
■
■
■
For the best print quality, use Epson papers (see page 15) and genuine Epson
ink cartridges (see page 46).
If you notice light or dark bands across your printouts or they are too faint,
run a nozzle check (see page 42) to see if the print head needs cleaning.
If you notice jagged vertical lines, you may need to align the print head. See
the on-screen Epson Information Center for instructions.
The ink cartridges may be low on ink. Check your cartridge status (see
page 44) and replace cartridges, if necessary (see page 46).
■
■
If you’re copying, place the document flat against the scanner glass.
Clean the scanner glass with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth (paper towels are not
recommended), or use a small amount of glass cleaner on a soft cloth, if
necessary. Do not spray glass cleaner directly on the glass.

Epson America, Inc., Limited Warranty
What Is Covered: Epson America, Inc. (“Epson”) warrants to the original retail purchaser
that the Epson printer covered by this limited warranty statement, if purchased and
operated only in the United States or Canada, will be free from defects in workmanship
and materials for a period of one (1) year from the date of original purchase. For warranty
service, you must provide proof of the date of original purchase.
What Epson Will Do To Correct Problems: Should your Epson printer prove defective
during the warranty period, please call the Epson Connection at (562) 276-4382 (U.S.) or
(905) 709-3839 (Canada) for warranty repair instructions and return authorization. An
Epson service technician will provide telephone diagnostic service to determine whether
the printer requires service. If service is needed, Epson will, at its option, exchange or
repair the printer without charge for parts or labor. If Epson authorizes an exchange for the
defective unit, Epson will ship a replacement printer to you, freight prepaid, so long as you
use an address in Canada or the U.S. (excluding Puerto Rico and U.S. Possessions).
Shipments to other locations will be made freight collect. You are responsible for securely
packaging the defective unit and returning it to Epson within five (5) working days of
receipt of the replacement. Epson requires a debit or a credit card number to secure the
cost of the replacement printer in the event that you fail to return the defective one. If
Epson authorizes repair instead of exchange, Epson will direct you to send your printer to
Epson or its authorized service center, where the printer will be repaired and sent back to
you. You are responsible for packing the printer and for all costs to and from the Epson
authorized service center. When warranty service involves the exchange of the printer or a
part, the item replaced becomes Epson property. The replacement printer or part may be
new or refurbished to the Epson standard of quality, and, at Epson's option, may be
another model of like kind and quality. Exchange products and parts assume the
remaining warranty period of your original product covered by this limited warranty.

The REN is useful to determine the quantity of devices that you may connect to your
telephone line and still have all of those devices ring when your telephone number is
called. In most, but not all areas, the sum of the RENs of all devices connected to one line
should not exceed five (5.0). To be certain of the number of devices that you may connect
to your line, you may want to contact your local telephone company to determine the
maximum REN for your calling area. For products approved after July 23, 2001, the REN
for this product is part of the product identifier that has the format US:
