Only one half of page prints.

I have a epson stylus photo rx420 printer and sometimes it prints only half document.Eventually it prints the full document after wasting loads of paper. Is it a software problem. I reloaded the softerware disc but made no difference. Its driving me mad.

My suggestion would be to totally un-install the printer and erase all traces of the driver(s). Search for them after the un-intall and erase them manually.

Re-install the printer and driver...reboot if nessasary...align the print heads...do a test pattern...then try and print your document. It might just be a corrupted driver...some would suggest just installing over the existing driver...but I've found doing it that way gives you the best chance of it working the first time.

Check the paper guide at the top of the printer. If the right hand guide is out then the printer may not recognise the paper size correctly.

My epson rx420 only prints the left hand side of any document ??? Can any one help please . many thanks

have you set the page setup in document is same with page setup at print setup. Some new epson printer use paper sensor to measure the paper width. If page setup wider than actually paper inserted, the printer will print only half page. example : Your document 10 cm wide, page setup 20 cm, and you insert 10 cm paper wide. It will print only half of 10 cm, 5 cm.

SCANNER WON'T SCAN OR COPY PROPERLY

Try deleting the printer, dissconnect the usb from the computer, reboot.
Install the driver from the CD again and follow directions which will tell you when to connect the printer.
See if this works.
Do NOT connect the printer till you are instructed to do so.

Move envelope/A4 lever near paper output tray until the letter L registers on display. Print in this mode and you should have full page printed.

STYLUS PHOTO RX420

I've had a look at the user manual (which was very vague) but found that under the "Product Information" > "Control Panel Functions" there's an option to have A4 or 10x15cm sized paper output on the printer control panel. Make sure that the A4 selection is lit before you copy.

Hopefully that will help resolve the issue.

the paper was not going in straight, I packed the tray with lots of paper and adjusted the paper lever tighter. Goes nicely now.

Printing problem

Try jiggling the cables and making sure that the USB connection is solid. It worked for me. Good luck.
