Aligning the Print Head

port, not over a network, to use this utility.

Cleaning the EPSON Stylus Scan
To keep your printer operating at its best, clean it several times
a year.
1. Press the
P
power button to turn the printer off, then
unplug the power cord and disconnect the cable.
2. Remove all paper.
3. Use a soft brush to clean loose dust and dirt.
4. Use a soft, clean cloth and mild detergent to clean the outer
case and inside of the paper feeder. Be careful not to soak
the cloth—just dampen it. Keep the front and top covers
closed to prevent moisture from getting inside.
caution
Use paper that’s at least
letter size to prevent ink
from spraying inside the
printer and smudging
your printouts. For best
results, use EPSON ink
jet paper in the printer
whenever you check the
print head alignment.
caution
Never use alcohol or
thinners, and never
spray inside the printer.
You could damage the
printer mechanisms.
