Epson printers keep giving "media not loaded correctly" error message

When sending print jobs that consist of multiple copies to Epson printers from my dual 3 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon Mac with OS 10.5.8, the printer will frequently (more than half the time) grab a sheet of paper and spit it out with nothing on it, and then return the error message "Media out or not loaded correctly". I've had the exact same issue with their 1280, 2400 and 2880 printers. I've been struggling with and troubleshooting this issue for a couple of months now, and I believe I've narrowed it down to the operating system. It happens when printing from both Photoshop CS3 and CS4. It doesn't happen when I print from another computer running OS 10.4.11.

Interesting observation of the OSs. Have you tried Epson's suggestions for the 1280 printer and 2880 printer?
BTW: This was a constant issue with my Epson 3000. It happened mostly with paper larger than tabloid size, which is the reason for having a large format printer. There was no difference between versions of the OS. This was with the paper tray, so it may not be relevant to your printers. However, when I first got the printer it came with some "cleaning sheets" to run thru the printer when changing different types of paper to clean the rollers. It seemed to help... What worked best was to pre-load the first sheet of a multiple page document.

  • Epson r1800 - 'Media not loaded correctly'

    Hello All,
    I'm having a lot of trouble with my Epson r1800 - I've searched around the internet a bit for solutions but so far haven't come up with anything. To start, I have updated the epson drivers and also tried Gutenprint drivers.
    Basically, no matter what I try (including the standard nozzle checks etc...) I always get the message 'Media not loaded correctly'. Occasionally pages will feed through the printer, but they are blank and regardless I get the media not loaded correctly message. Does anybody have a workaround or solutions for this?
    Thanks!
    Gavin

    Try using the following directions from a message from Epson. This corrected my problems with an Epson R1800 and Leopard.
    Thank you for taking the time to contact Epson. It is my pleasure to
    respond to your inquiry.
    If your output is faint or if the driver settings and/or features are
    missing, your system may have automatically added the printer using the
    Gutenprint driver. Many Epson drivers are provided with Leopard but the
    driver for your printer needs to be downloaded from the Epson website.
    Determine Which Driver is Currently Being Used
    1. Click on the Apple icon in the upper left corner of the Finder and open
    System Preferences.
    2. In the System Preferences window, click on Print & Fax.
    3. In the list of printers on the left side of the Print & Fax window,
    click once on your Epson printer to select it.
    4. Check the name of the driver being used; it is displayed in the center
    of the Print & Fax window next to “Kind”.
    5. If the driver name displayed next to “Kind” is Gutenprint, the incorrect
    driver is being used. Follow the steps in the next section to select the
    correct driver.
    Selecting the Correct Driver
    1. Turn off the printer.
    2. Delete the print queue and remove the printer from Print & Fax by
    clicking on the minus button under the list of printers. Click OK to
    confirm the removal.
    3. Go to the Epson support website (www.epson.com/support).
    4. Select your product model and download the driver for OS X 10.5 Leopard
    operating system.
    5. Double-click the downloaded file and follow the on-screen instructions
    to install the printer driver.
    6. Click on the Apple icon in the upper left corner of the Finder and open
    System Preferences.

  • "Printer cartridges not installed correctly" error message

    HP Tech Support and HP Envy Users, Still getting the "Printer cartridges not installed correctly" error message for no good reason and it's July 2015! HP should have fixed this problem a long time ago based on the date of the posts from users. And/or corrected the misleading error message, as the users did install them correctly. I didn't get an installation error message when I installed my cartridges and I have been able to print successfully on this current set of cartridges. My error message appeared out of the blue. I've done all the troubleshooting steps except replace BOTH cartridges. I will do that. If the error message goes away once I've replaced one or both cartridges, HP should have long provided an update that says, "replace ink cartridges" and not the misleading one of not being installed correctly. If that doesn't clear up the problem, I will call HP as it's still under warranty. Hope I didn't get one of the "lemons" that require servicing.

  • Objects Not Loaded Correctly Error

    When I open up Data Modeler I get this error.
    "Some objects are not loaded correctly. See the log file for details"
    After I click OK my model opens up but I noticed that I can not change the precision on a column in one of my tables. This model is under Source Control and one of the other developers is missing the SubView where my table is that I am trying to modify so I think the problem is related.
    Here is the contents of the log file.

    Hi,
    I noticed that I can not change the precision on a column in one of my tablesProbably that's a FK column.
    For the other problem - probably it's caused by merge conflict and you have in the file symbols <<<<<< >>>>>> and non valid XML elements. You can try to replace the content of the file manually using version from repository. There will be better processing of suche cases in next release.

  • "Plugin did not start correctly" error message

    I have the current version of Photomatix Pro loaded as an HDR plugin for Lightroom 3.0.  When I try to export the series of images from Lightroom to Photmatix, I get the following message:
         Info
              Plugin did not start correctly
              Please check whether you invoked the plugin by choosing 'File > Plug-in Extras'
    The process that I used in Lightroom was to hold down CTRL and select the 5 images while in Lightroom 3.0.  The I right clicked, went to Export and then to Photomatix Pro which appears in the list.  After doing this, I receive the above message.
    The way that I installed the software was to first have Lightroom 3.0 installed and updated.  Then I installed the Photomatix Pro software and answered the question during installation that I wanted to use it as a plugin in LR.  That was it.
    I just discovered something.  In LR I went to File, Plugin Extras, Export to Photomatix Pro and this worked!!!!  There is evidently a problem with the right click, export to a plugin.  Don't know how to pass this on to the developers so if someone does, please do so.
      Thanks, Don

  • "User is not setup correctly" error message in iStore

    Hi
    I am getting a strange error message when I log into iStore using the iStore Administrator responsibility. I navigate to Catalog > Products, I select a product and press "Update". As soon as I do this, I get this exact error message "User is not setup correctly. Please check user setup"
    This has been a hard one to figure out, everything seems to be set up properly, anyone have any clues as to what the problem is here?

    I have no problem loading the websites on IE. All websites load on IE, no problem. Please help me restore Firefox browser. Thank you.

    yeah I thought that as well but my roommate has a macbook air on the same network and his works fine on the same web pages... maybe Its no problem at all. I was just curious if this is normal because when I had a PC that did this it had a trojan horse virus effecting it and ultimately caused it to crash.

  • Change Password does not show Correct Error Message

    Hi,
    I am using a password policy which says that Characters not allowed are @&()|\";'<>+=/?. :}{][
    When the user try tochange the password and try to put any of the above character,
    then OIM Web console shows an Password Policy error, which is correct.
    The Problem comes in when the Webconsole does not show the full range of the unsupported characters,it only shows the below error
    Password Policy Error
    The following password policy rules are not met:
    Invalid Chars=/?. :}{][
    Ideally it should have shown the full set of unsupported characters, which led the user to do the mistake again by selecting same old special charcter.
    Although,the logs at the back end, shows full set of characters.
    My Question ,is how could this be fixed,what customization has to be done if any ,for reflecting this change on WebConsole page.
    Cheers
    Ak

    Hi,
    I resolved the issue by changing the Characters not allowed to =@&()|\";'+/?. :}{][
    instead of @&()|\";'+=/?. :}{][
    What i figured out is all the charcters after = are only getting printed at the Web Console, so i reshuffle the charcters and put = in the beginning.
    And it is working fine.....
    Strange huh.....:)
    Cheers
