Cleaning the Print Head

If print quality has declined and the nozzle check indicates clogged nozzles, you can clean

the print head. Print head cleaning uses ink, so clean it only if necessary.

Note: You cannot clean the print head if an ink cartridge is expended, and may not be

able to clean it when a cartridge is low. You must replace the cartridge first (see

page 21).

Load letter- or A4-size plain paper in the main paper cassette.

Cleaning takes about 2 minutes. When it's finished, you see a message on the display

Caution: Never turn off the printer during head cleaning or you may damage it.

that the print head is clean.

If there are still gaps or lines, or the test patterns are faint, run another cleaning cycle

and check the nozzles again.

Note: If you don't see any improvement after cleaning the print head four times, turn

off the printer and wait at least six hours to let any dried ink soften. Then try cleaning

the print head again. If quality does not improve, one of the ink cartridges may need to

be replaced. If that doesn't help, contact Epson as described on page 29.

If you do not use your product often, it is a good idea to print a few pages at least once

a month to maintain good print quality.
