22 Cleaning the Print Head
Cleaning the Print Head
If print quality has declined and the nozzle check pattern 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 the ink cartridge is expended, and may not be
able to clean it when the cartridge is low. You must replace the cartridge first (see
page 24).
1. Load a few sheets of letter- or A4-size paper in the sheet feeder.
2. Press the x
Menu button.
3. Press u or d to select
Maintenance, then press OK.
4. Press u or d to select
Head Cleaning, then press the x Start button.
Cleaning takes a few minutes. When it’s finished, you see a message on the LCD
screen.
Caution: Never turn off the product during head cleaning or you may damage it.
5. Press 2 to run a nozzle check and confirm that the print head is clean.
Note: If you don’t see any improvement after cleaning the print head four times, leave
the product on and wait at least six hours to let any dried ink soften. Then try cleaning
the print head again. If quality does not improve, the ink cartridge may need to be
replaced. If that doesn’t help, contact Epson as described on page 31.
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.
Checking Ink Levels
If the ink cartridge is expended, you see a message on your
products LCD screen:
Note: Printing stops when the ink cartridge is expended. You must replace it to
continue printing.

approximate. To check the ink level with your Windows or Mac OS X software, see the
instructions in your online User’s Guide.
1. Press the x
Menu button.
2. Press u or d to select
Maintenance, then press OK.
3. Press u or d to select
Ink Level, then press OK.
4. The ink cartridge status is displayed. See page 24 to replace the cartridge, if necessary.
