Maintaining Your All-in-One Follow the steps in these sections to check and clean the print head, and purchase and replace ink cartridges when necessary: ■ “Checking the Print Head Nozzles” below ■ “Cleaning the Print Head” on page 29 ■ “Checking the Ink Cartridge Status” on page 30 ■ “Purchasing Epson Ink Cartridges” on page 31 ■ “Replacing Ink Cartridges” on page 32 To align the print head, if necessary, see your on-screen User’s Guide.
6. Check the nozzle check pattern that prints to see if there are gaps in the lines. Nozzles are clean Nozzles need cleaning 7. If there are no gaps, press OK to continue printing. If there are gaps or the pattern is faint, press x Start to clean the print head. See the next section for details. 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: If you don’t see any improvement after cleaning the print head three times, turn off your all-in-one and wait at least six hours to let any dried ink soften. Then try printing again. If you do not use your all-in-one often, it is a good idea to print a few pages at least once a month to maintain good print quality. Checking the Ink Cartridge Status Your RX595 Series will let you know when an ink cartridge is low or expended by displaying a message on its display screen or your computer.
Purchasing Epson Ink Cartridges You can purchase genuine Epson ink and paper at Epson Supplies Central at www.epson.com/ink3 (U.S. sales) or www.epson.ca (Canadian sales). You can also purchase supplies from an Epson authorized reseller. To find the nearest one, call 800-GO-EPSON (800-463-7766).
Replacing Ink Cartridges Make sure you have a new ink cartridge before you begin. You must install new cartridges immediately after removing the old ones. Caution: Do not open ink cartridge packages until you are ready to install the ink. Cartridges are vacuum packed to maintain reliability. Leave your old cartridges in the Epson Stylus Photo RX595 Series until you are ready to replace them to prevent the print head nozzles from drying out.
4. Remove the cartridge from the package, but be careful not to touch the green chip on the edge. 5. Remove the yellow tape from the bottom of the ink cartridge. Caution: Do not remove any other labels or seals, or ink will leak. 6. Insert the new ink cartridge into the holder and push it down until it clicks into place. 7. Once you replace all the cartridges that need replacing, close the cartridge cover and push it down until it clicks into place. 8. Close the scanner.
9. Press OK to begin charging the ink. This takes about 2 minutes. When you see a completion message on the display screen, ink charging is finished. Caution: To conserve ink, never turn off the RX595 Series while ink is charging. If you see an ink replacement message on the display screen, press OK and press down all the cartridges securely. If you remove a low or expended ink cartridge, you cannot reinstall and use the cartridge.
