Why does my epson R280 Givers me a Communication Error, what does this mean

It normally means that the signal between the printer and computer had been corrupted or interrupted. Check that your USB cable is not damaged, unplugged or even slightly loose. Unplug and re-aligns in both ends. Use a different USB port on your computer if you can. Keep the USB lead and printer away from unshielded mains or hi-voltage cables as as they can corrupt data signals. Next reinstall the printer driver. If all this fails, try your printer and lead on a friends computer. If it works, look for the problem in your laptop otherwise maybe it's time to buy an Epson wireless multifunction printer.

What is wrong with my Epson R280 printer when the ink appears smeared down columns of a spreadheet

Probably dirty heads on the nozzle. In most inkjets there is a maintenance option to clean the heads. I would first clean the heads, and then make sure that the print heads were aligned. If that is all squared away then check for any driver or firmware updates. Finally get some rubbing alcohol and gently clean the print head. Sometimes if the printer is not used that often the ink will congeal and smear.

How do I change to Black & White printing only on Epson ESC/Standard 2?

Go to your printer's options. It will probably take two steps but you can just select black and white (it may be called mono) and keep clicking OK until you're back to the normal screen. However what you really should do, if you can afford it, is get a Brother black and white (or mono) laser printer in the neighborhood of $100 - $140. I have one. It will print beautiful print for about 7 reams of paper per toner cartridge. DO NOT GET A "just like Brother cartridge" or a refilled cartridge. That's asking for trouble. Try to gget it from Newegg.com or Amazon.com. They are both reputable. Do not go to eBay!!!

What does Communication Error mean?

I am guessing that you are using Windows 7. If so go to Control panel 'Hardware and Sound' Printers and select Remove a Printer. You may then unplug the printer usb connection and restart your computer. When the computer has restarted , you may go to the link below to download the most current drivers and install them . Do not plug in the usb connection until you are told to do so. Also, the printer may select a default connection to LPT1 , which is a parallel port connection (apparently this printer likes to do so , and this will give you your "communication error" ). If it does, go to printers in control panel (see above) , right click on the icon for your printer , select "properties" , and left click on the " ports " tab. Make sure that the port selected is USB001 or similar and NOT LPT1. Epson Stylus Photo R280 Ink Jet Printer

Epson r280 plugged in 220 v

And? What happened? Did it blow up ? Did it started to smoke? Does it have a switch where it can be switched from 110V to 220V ? If it does and it was not switched, chances are 'is fried'...If it doesn't and is only set for 110V ... it is also 'fried'. Without more details... no more advice.

You need to align/clean your ink cartridge. Look under the Printers, select your printer and go to Properties. There should be a tab for maintenance.

Changed all my ink cartridges on astylus PHOTO R280 and now the print comes out with a green ting.

I suggest that you clean the inkhead with a wet paper cloth (just a little amount of warm water . enough to make the paper cloth wet).Remember to remove the inkhead before wiping it with the paper cloth. After that, let it dry and put it back in. Try printing.

Photos are printing with too

It sounds like the print head may be clogged. To clean print head:
  1. Get a saucer and fill it with hot water
  2. Dip the print head in for 30 minutes
  3. Wipe the print head with a dry cloth
  4. Repeat the above at least 3-4 times (replace the hot water in the saucer each time)
  5. After repeating and wiping down the print head, put it back in your printer, put the cartridges in and run the print head cleaning function 2-3 times.
If it still doesn't work, then you may have to replace the print head.

Epson Projector S05 text is shodow

If the text on your Epson EB-S05 projector is appearing blurry or shadowed, there are several possible causes and solutions to consider:
  1. Check the focus: Make sure the projector is in focus by adjusting the focus ring. If the text still appears blurry, try adjusting the position of the projector or the screen.
  2. Check the resolution: If the input resolution of your projector does not match the native resolution of your display or screen, the text may appear blurry or shadowed. Check the resolution settings on both your projector and your device to make sure they match.
  3. Check the cables: If the cables connecting your projector to your device are old or damaged, they may cause interference or display issues. Try replacing the cables with new ones and see if that improves the text clarity.
  4. Check the lamp: If the lamp on your projector is old or damaged, it may cause the image to appear dim or blurry. Check the lamp hours and replace the lamp if necessary.
  5. Check the settings: Make sure that the brightness, contrast, and other settings on your projector are properly adjusted. Experiment with different settings to find the optimal image quality.
If none of these solutions work, it may be necessary to consult the Epson customer support or to take the projector to a professional technician for repair.

Epson Artisan 835 waste pad cleaning or replacement, how?

The Epson Artisan 835 waste pad is located in the printer's waste ink compartment and is designed to absorb any excess ink that is generated during the printing process. Over time, the waste pad can become saturated with ink, which can cause issues with the printer's performance. To clean or replace the waste pad on an Epson Artisan 835 printer, you will need to follow these steps:
  1. Turn off the printer and unplug it from the power source.
  2. Open the printer's cover and locate the waste ink compartment.
  3. Carefully remove the waste pad from the compartment.
  4. Clean the waste pad with a damp cloth, or replace it with a new one if it is heavily saturated with ink.
  5. Reinstall the waste pad into the waste ink compartment.
  6. Close the printer cover and plug the printer back in.
It's important to note that this process can be messy and you should use gloves and old clothes to avoid getting ink on your hands or clothes. Also, some printer models may have a different process to access the waste pad, you might need to consult the printer's manual or Epson website to know more about your specific model.

Is there anyway to connect my Chromebook to my Epson EMP-83H projector when my Chromebook only has either a USB or 2 Type -C ports?

Yes, there are a few ways to connect your Chromebook to an Epson EMP-83H projector even if your Chromebook only has a USB or 2 Type-C ports. Here are a few options you can try:
  1. Use a USB-C to HDMI adapter: If your projector has an HDMI input, you can use a USB-C to HDMI adapter to connect the projector to one of your Chromebook's Type-C ports. This will allow you to mirror your Chromebook's screen on the projector.
  2. Use a USB-C to VGA adapter: If your projector has a VGA input, you can use a USB-C to VGA adapter to connect the projector to one of your Chromebook's Type-C ports. This will allow you to mirror your Chromebook's screen on the projector.
  3. Use a Chromecast or similar device: You can use a Chromecast or similar device that can be connected to the projector via HDMI, this device will let you mirror your Chromebook's screen on the projector wirelessly.
  4. Use Google Meet: If the projector have internet connectivity, you can use Google Meet on your Chromebook to conduct a video call, you can share the screen of your Chromebook with the projector and use it as if it were connected through cable.
  5. Use a USB-C to USB adapter: If your projector has a USB input, you can use a USB-C to USB adapter to connect the projector to one of your Chromebook's Type-C ports. This will allow you to use the USB function on the projector, such as using a USB drive to display content on the projector.
It's worth to mention that, Before buying any adapter or device, make sure it's compatible with your projector, and also check the resolution and refresh rate supported by the adapter to ensure that it can meet your needs. Additionally, it's always best to check the instruction manual of your projector and the adapter to ensure that you are using it correctly.
