Preventing the Print Head from Drying
Always use the power button when turning the printer on and o.
Check that the power light is
o
before you disconnect the power cord.
e ink itself can dry out if it is not covered. Just like placing a cap on a fountain pen or an oil pen to prevent it
from drying, make sure the print head is capped properly to prevent the ink from drying.
When the power cord is unplugged or a power outage occurs while the printer is in operation, the print head may
not be capped properly. If the print head is
le
as it is, it will dry out causing nozzles (ink outlets) to clog.
In these cases, turn the printer on and o again as soon as possible to cap the print head.
Checking and Cleaning the Print Head
If the nozzles are clogged, the printouts become faint, there is visible banding, or unexpected colors appear. When
print quality has declined, use the nozzle check feature and check if the nozzles are clogged. If the nozzles are
clogged, clean the print head.
c
Important:
❏ Do not open the inner cover or turn
o
the printer during head cleaning. If the head cleaning is incomplete, you
may not be able to print.
❏ Because print head cleaning uses some ink, clean the print head only if quality declines.
❏ When ink is low, you may not be able to clean the print head.
❏ If print quality has not improved aer repeating nozzle check and head cleaning three times, wait for at least 12
hours without printing, and then run the nozzle check again. We recommend to turn o the printer. If print
quality has still not improved, run Power Cleaning. If it has still not improved, contact Epson support.
❏ To prevent the print head from drying out, do not unplug the printer while the power is on.
Checking and Cleaning the Print Head - Control Panel
1. Load A4-size plain paper in the printer.
2. Select Maintenance on the home screen.
To select an item, use the
u
d
l
r
buttons, and then press the OK button.
3. Select Nozzle Check.
4. Follow the on-screen instructions to print the nozzle check pattern.
5. Examine the printed pattern.
❏ If you cannot see any broken lines or missing segments as in the following "OK" pattern, the nozzles are not
clogged. Select No to close the nozzle check feature. No further steps are necessary.
