My workforce 520 printer renders illegible document printing and copying. my alignment page is not sharp either. should i trash it or can it be rehabilitated?
Re: My workforce 520 printer renders illegible document...
Factory reset, and then clean your printhead with the built in cleaning protocol. Make sure that the print quality on your computer is set to the highest resolution (best DPI) and best quality setting (usually image) that will fix the problem but also significantly increase the ink usage.
Note: using non-standard ink (ie Cartridge World ink or recycled ink cartridges, or refilled cartridges) can lead to poor print quality.

This is a simple question that I am often asked, and I decided to put together a little guide on how to add page numbers in various programs/applications as well as from the copier's touch screen. Originally I thought this was something that could be dictated from a Sharp print driver, but it's not. It's accomplished by adjusting the settings of the actual document before you print it out.
Print Page Numbers Onto Copied Documents
1. On the Home screen, touch Copy
2. On the Copy screen, touch Others at the bottom-left
3. On the Others Screen, touch Stamp
4. On the Stamp screen, move to the Page No. tab, then choose the location of the page where you want the page number. You can also choose the pattern or text style that you want the page number to be on the left side of the menu.
5. Touch OK. Your copies will have the page number stamped in the position you chose.
Printing Page Numbers from Microsoft Word or Excel on a Windows PC
1. Open your document
2. Once you're ready to print the document, move to the Insert Tab, and choose Page Number, then choose the position where you'd like the page number printed, and the type/style of the numbering. 3. Your print outs will now have the page number printed on them.
Printing Page Numbers from Adobe Acrobat / Adobe Reader
First of all, Adobe Reader cannot add page numbers to PDF print outs. It's a READ ONLY tool incapable of editing documents. You'll need either Adobe Acrobat Pro, or software similar to what BatesNumberer.com offers.
There is a great video on tv.adobe.com that details how to add page numbers via Adobe Acrobat.
In Conclusion
Make the necessary changes to your document to add page numbering before you print it, or before you copy it. There are a ton of other great tutorials for Sharp copiers/printers at www.youtube.com/equipmybiz
You can perform this function from the software program you are using. Place the page you want to print on the screen, then go to the print function. Look for something like 'Print current page", or if you have the page number, you can enter it in a 'print pages' box.
When replacing ink on the Epson Workforce 520, Ensure the cartridges have the correct/same number of gold contacts. Ive seen them with 7 and 9 gold square contacts and they were otherwise identical, and the ones with 9 contacts threw an "cartridge not recognized" error on the printer's dispay.
