Head cleaning
If you find that the printed data is unexpectedly faint
or dots in the printed data are missing, you may be
able to solve these problems by using the Head
Cleaning utility to clean the print head, which ensures
that the nozzles are delivering ink properly.
You can perform head cleaning from:
Computer
Printer’s control panel
Note:
The cleaning process consumes ink of all ink
cartridges at the same time. Even if you are using
only black inks, the head cleaning also consumes
color inks.
You do not need to perform head cleaning unless
the printed data is blurred or the color of the
image is not good.
After cleaning the print head, print a nozzle
check pattern to check if it is printed correctly.
When the Ink Check light is flashing or on, you
cannot clean the print head. Replace the ink
cartridge with a new one first. (If the ink enough
remains for the head cleaning, you may perform
head cleaning using the printer’s control panel.)
See “Replacing Ink Cartridges” on page 64
When repeating head cleaning in a short time
period, the maintenance tank may be nearing the
end of its service life quickly due to minimal ink
evaporation in the tank.
Cleaning the print head using the
computer
This section explains how to clean the print head
using the Window printer driver.
Use EPSON Printer Utility3 for Mac OS X.
See “Accessing EPSON Printer Utility3” on page
