Poor Print Quality
Part or All of Document not Printed on Page
This problem might be the left edge guide is adjusted wrong. Slide the left edge guide against the left edge of the paper, but not too tightly. For photo printing, make sure the printable side of the paper is faced up. The printable side is usually whiter and brighter.
Distortion, Banding, or Mixed Colors
It may be dirty printer heads. The printer has a self cleaning mechanism, and the problem should go away after cleaning. Make sure the printer is turned on, not printing, and has sufficient ink (red ink light is off). Hold down the ink button for about 3 seconds to initiate cleaning. It should take about 2 minutes.
Out of Ink
Faded print or missing colors may indicates low level of toner in the cartridge. Replacing the cartridges will fix this issue. Please see the guide for replacing an ink cartridge.
Dirty Components
To have consistently good print quality, the printer needs to be cleaned occasionally. Light cleaning for dust and ink spills can fix the issue. See this guide on how to clean the printer.
Software or Connection Issue
Make sure drivers are up to date and check external connections. Try printing from another program. See the software section to update drivers.
Dirty or Damaged Print Head
Large ink smudges, missing colors, mixed colors or distortion even after cleaning may indicate a damaged or overly dirty print head. Follow this guide to take out the printhead.
Printer Jammed
Paper Jam
Paper is stuck in the printer, and it is unable to come out. Taking the paper out will resolve this issue. Please refer to the guide for paper jam.

No one seems to ask this question: Why won't the CD tray insert into my Epson 1400? I followed instructions but it stops solid about halfway in before the arrows line up. I really need this thing to work!

Why would my epson photo stylus printer 1400 keep getting an error saying that the cd print tray needs to be removed before I can print on paper when the tray is not even inserted. It can run the paper thru and eject it, but it won’t print because of the above error. I have tried inserting and opening the folding up paper holder for your printed papers.

How can I move the printer carriage to the left? It does not need ink, there is no red light, but I need to move it from the right to the middle for cleaning. Thank you

Press the Ink button and wait a few seconds. Press it a second time. This works for me.

My printer was idle for years when I started using it, I got Blue horizontal lines an inch apart. I tried cleaning with the machine & kit from Amazon. I had no luck fixing the problem. Please let me know if there’s something I can do to help.
Thanks!

My Epson 1400 Photo Print will not allow me to print larger sizes or my PC won’t allow it. I try to print a picture of 17x22 and it won’t give me that option. In fact the largest size it will let me pick is letter. How can I fix this issue?

I didn't use my printer for about a year when I was recuperating from surgery. When I tried to print, the whole process like it was printing, but delivered a blank sheet. I tried cleaning the printers with the system, then followed online instructions for cleaning heads. I then ran a test page. The usual lines were all blank, but it printed three designs in the lower middle of the page: the first was a large outlined C with Unix Printing System written in the middle, the second was a circle with a lovely shaded pink, blue, purple and white circle design, and the last was and outlined rectangle standing on its smaller side and shaded from white through pink to purple inside. What is going on?

My epson Photo 1400 was printing and just stopped working. I plugged it into a plug I know works but the on light still does not go on. Is it dead? Can it be fixed or should I just buy a new one?
