Maintaining Your Printer Follow the instructions in this chapter for checking and cleaning the print head nozzles and replacing ink cartridges. To align the print head, if necessary, see your on-screen Epson Information Center. Caution: To keep your printer looking like new, don’t place anything on top of the cover or use it as a writing surface. If you need to clean the cover, use only a soft, non-abrasive microfiber-type cloth.
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 an ink cartridge is expended, and may not be able to clean it when a cartridge is low. You must replace the cartridge first (see page 31). 1. Load letter- or A4-size paper in the sheet feeder (see page 5). 2. Press the Index Sheet and Scan buttons at the same time. 3.
Checking Ink Levels If an ink cartridge is expended, you see a message on your printer’s LCD display screen: Note: You cannot print or copy when an ink cartridge is expended even if the other cartridges are not expended. Replace any expended cartridges before printing or copying. You can check ink cartridge levels using your printer software: ■ Windows: Double-click the your screen (the taskbar). ■ Macintosh: Open the Applications folder on your hard drive, then open the EPSON Printer Utility3.
Note: We recommend that you use genuine Epson cartridges and do not refill them. The use of other products may affect your print quality and could result in printer damage. Yields vary considerably based on images printed, print settings, paper type, frequency of use, and temperature. For print quality, a small amount of ink remains in the cartridge after the “replace cartridge” indicator comes on.
3. Open the scanner, and open the cartridge cover. 4. Squeeze the tab on the cartridge and lift it up. Dispose of it carefully. Do not take the used cartridge apart or try to refill it. Warning: If ink gets on your hands, wash them thoroughly with soap and water. If ink gets into your eyes, flush them immediately with water. Keep ink cartridges out of the reach of children. 5. Before you open the new cartridge package, shake it gently four or five times. Then remove the cartridge from the package.
7. Insert the new ink cartridge into the holder and push it down until it clicks into place. 8. Once you replace all the cartridges that need replacing, close the cartridge cover and push it down until it clicks into place. 9. Close the scanner. 10. 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: Never turn off the your Epson printer while ink is charging or you’ll waste ink.
