As Gussery said, "Those beep codes mean something"!
From the Epson site:
Q: The printer beeps (five sets of four beeps) and will not load paper. Why won't it load paper?
A: If the printer does five sets of four beeps (with a pause in between each set), continuous paper has been selected, but there is no paper loaded on the tractor. Install the paper onto the tractor unit and try printing again.
Q: Why does my printer beep three times?
A: This means that you have chosen single sheets on the paper release lever, but no paper is present. Load paper and try printing.
Q: Why does the printer stop or pause in the middle of a print job?
A: The printer has a built-in sensor that monitors the temperature of the print head. When the print head begins to get too hot, the printer may pause or slow down the speed of the print head unit to ensure that the print head does not overheat. If the print head begins to overheat, the thermistor will stop the print head completely until it has cooled down. Once the print head has sufficiently cooled down, the printer will resume the print job. Another reason for the printer to pause or stop can be that the printer is waiting for more data or is in the middle of processing data already received.
Also, what Operating System are you using? Exactly how many times does it beep? Has this started since changing something or has it been going on for a while, getting gradually worse?
In the Product Information guide at the site listed previously, the properties of the lights are listed under Control Panel=>lights.
