3. If you have an application running, access the printer settings dialog box as

described on page 9 (Windows) or page 16 (Macintosh).

Or, with Windows, click Start, point to Settings, then select Printers. Right-click

your EPSON Stylus Photo 2000P printer icon, then select Properties

(Document Defaults in Windows NT or Printing Preferences in

Windows 2000).

4. Windows: Click the Utility tab.

Macintosh: Click the Utility

button.

5. On the Utility menu, click the

Head Cleaning button.

6. Follow the instructions on the

screen to clean the print head.

Cleaning takes about 30 seconds,

during which the printer makes

some noise and the

Ppower

light flashes.

Never turn off the printer while the

power light is flashing, unless the

printer hasn’t moved or made noise for more than 5 minutes.

7. When the

Ppower light stops flashing, run a nozzle check to confirm that the

print head nozzles are clean. Load plain paper in the printer and click Print nozzle

check pattern

. Then click Next. Examine the nozzle check pattern as described

on page 39.

8. If the pattern has missing dots or lines, click

Clean

to clean the print head again.

If the pattern looks complete, click

Finish

If you don’t see any improvement after cleaning three or four times, check for

solutions in “Problems Getting Good Print Quality” on page 53. You can also turn

the printer off and wait overnight—this allows any dried ink to soften—and then try

cleaning the print head again.
