While typing the word, the keys get stuck and more than one letter appears on the LCD screen, so it makes it difficult to finish the label because I have to go back and delete the misspelled words.

Epson Printer: Modify an Epson Workforce 645 ADF scanner to accept smaller documents?

Thu, 12 Dec 2013 12:23:38 -0700

Hi,

I've got an Epson Workforce 645, and bought it specifically for its duplex scanning functionality. (Scanning my old books that are now out of print and literally falling apart at the spine...)

However, it turns out that it has a minimum possible size for scanning documents through the ADF.

The page size I'm hoping for is something slightly smaller than A5.

I'm hoping that there might be a hardware fix for this, and was wondering if anybody had any ideas.

Thank you

HP Printer: Should I refill the black?

Tue, 28 May 2013 16:14:45 -0700

Hello,

I got a HP officejet 4315 All-in-one printer which works fine but the 21 black is empty(checked under the label too)

And the reason i am unsure about refilling the black is the printer was from a garage of one of my neighbors who gave it to me

and it was in a box of thier daughters stuff possibly from college and was gonna be in the trash anyway and god knows how long its been there

Epson Stylus Photo R2400: Roller paper is jammed

Fri, 02 Apr 2010 23:31:38 -0700

After printing a banner, and following manual instructions, I cut the paper before trying to back the paper out. Once before I cut the paper behind and pulled the paper out the front, but this time, against my better instincts, forgot since the manual says it will roll out the back.

The paper now refuses to back all the way out, and is stuck under immovable gears. When the printer was under warranty I had to replace the printer in a similar jam. Is dismantling the machine truly the only way to free the paper?

Epson Printer: Epson L-1800 paper light stays on

Sat, 31 May 2025 07:42:12 -0700

On roll fed Epson L-1800 DTF printer the paper out light stays on. I assume this is saying the printer is out of paper, but it is not. The sensor seems to be working fine. It disengages when I load the paper. Just wondering if anyone else has had this problem. I have cleaned the rollers and they are not worn. This printer is new.
