    EPSON Status Monitor 3
    This utility provides you with printer status information, such as 
    the amount of ink remaining, the free space of the maintenance 
    tank, and it also checks for printer error.
    Note:
    This utility is available when your system is configured to support 
    bi-directional communication.
    Nozzle Check
    This utility checks the print head nozzles for clogging. Check the 
    nozzles when you notice the print quality has declined and after 
    cleaning to confirm that the print head nozzles have been cleaned. 
    See “Checking the print head nozzles” on page 74.
    If you click Auto in the Nozzle Check dialog box, or turn on AUTO 
    CLEANING from the control panel on the printer, this utility not 
    only checks the clogging nozzles, but also performs head cleaning 
    automatically.
    Head Cleaning
    This utility cleans the print head. You may need to clean the print 
    head if you notice the print quality has declined. Use this utility 
    to perform head cleaning. See “Cleaning the print head” on page 
    76.
    Head Alignment
    This utility can be used to improve the print quality of your 
    printed data. The alignment of the print head may need to be 
    adjusted if vertical lines appear out of alignment or if white or 
    black banding noise appear in your printed data. Use this utility 
    to realign the print head. See “Aligning the print head” on page 
    77.

    3. Click Print if you want to visually check if any print head 
    nozzles are clogged, if you are using non-Epson special 
    media, or if the width of paper you are using is less than 
    210 mm. Click Auto if you want to perform an automatic 
    nozzle check, and if the nozzle check indicates it is necessary.
    Note:
    If you turn on AUTO CLEANING from the control panel on the printer 
    even though Print has been selected, the Nozzle Check utility not 
    only checks for the clogged nozzles, but also performs head cleaning 
    automatically. If you are using non-Epson special media, or if the 
    width of paper you are using is less than 210 mm, turn off AUTO 
    CLEANING from the control panel on the printer.
    4. Follow the on-screen instructions to print a nozzle check 
    pattern.
    If you find missing dots, clean the print head nozzle. See

    Cleaning the print head
    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.
    To use the Head Cleaning utility, follow the steps below.
    Note:
    ❏Do not start the Head Cleaning utility while printing is in progress; 
    otherwise, your printout may be marred.
    ❏To save ink, use the Nozzle Check utility first to confirm that the 
    print head needs to be cleaned. This is because the cleaning process 
    consumes some ink.
    ❏When one check ink out light is flashing or on, you cannot clean the 
    print head. Replace the appropriate ink cartridge first. See 
    “Replacing Ink Cartridges” on page 289.
    1. Make sure the printer is turned on and all ink check lights are 
    off.
    2. Click Head Cleaning.
    3. Follow the on-screen instructions.
    4. Click Print Nozzle Check Pattern in the Head Cleaning 
    dialog box to confirm that the head is clean and to reset the 
    cleaning cycle.
    If you still find missing dots after cleaning, try the following 
    solutions.
    ❏Select PWR CLEANING from the control panel on the printer. See 
    “PWR CLEANING” on page 238.

    ❏Repeat this procedure four or five times, turn the printer off 
    and leave it alone overnight, and then try head cleaning again.
    ❏Replace some of ink cartridges as they may be old or 
    damaged.
    If the print quality remains a problem after you have tried these 
    solutions, contact your dealer. See “Contacting Customer 
    Support” on page 349.
    Aligning the print head
    If you find misaligned lines or black or white banding on the 
    printed data, you may be able to solve these problems by using 
    the Print Head Alignment utility to align the print head.
    To use the Print Head Alignment utility, follow the steps below.
    1. Make sure paper is loaded in the printer.
    2. Click Head Alignment.
    3. Follow the on-screen instructions.
    Using Printer and Option Information
    You can check or select the black ink set on the printer.
    Note:
    This function is supported by EPSON Stylus Pro 4800 only.
    1. Make sure the printer is turned on.
     
    						
    							78Printing with Windows 2. Click Printer and Option Information. The following dialog 
    box appears.
    The printer driver usually obtains the ink cartridge 
    information automatically, and prints in the appropriate print 
    mode. If this is not possible, a message appears in the Current 
    Setting box to prompt you to select an ink cartridge. In this 
    case, select the correct ink cartridge according to the actual 
    ink cartridge set on the printer.
    3. Click OK.
    Starting EPSON LFP Remote Panel

    Making the Speed & Progress settings
    You can make settings related to print speed and progress. To 
    make the Speed & Progress settings, click Speed & Progress on 
    the Utility menu. The Speed & Progress dialog box appears.
    Note:
    The specific features available in the printer software vary depending on 
    the printer model and the version of Windows that you are using.
    High Speed Copies
    To print multiple copies of your data faster, select High Speed 
    Copies. This speeds up printing by using your hard disk space 
    as a cache when printing multiple copies of your data.
    Show Progress Meter
    To display the Progress Meter every time you print, select Show 
    Progress Meter. Then, you can monitor the progress of your print 
    job.

    Always spool RAW datatype (For Windows XP and 2000 
    only)
    To enable NT-based clients spool documents to use the RAW 
    format instead of the EMF (metafile) format, select the Always 
    Spool Raw datatype check box (Windows NT-based 
    applications use the EMF format by default).
    Try using this option if documents spooled in the EMF format do 
    not print correctly. 
    Depending on the data to print, spooling RAW datatype requires 
    fewer resources than EMF, so some problems (“Insufficient 
    Memory/Disk Space to Print”, “Slow print speed”, etc) can be 
    solved by selecting this option.
    Note:
    When you spool RAW datatype, the print progress as displayed by the 
    Progress Meter may differ from the actual printing progress.
    Page Rendering Mode (For Windows XP and 2000 only)
    Use this function when the print speed is extremely slow or when 
    the print head stops for a few minutes while printing. When this 
    check box is selected, the print speed may improve by rendering 
    as page.
    However, the following problems may occur.
    ❏Print progress displayed in the Progress Meter window may 
    differ from the actual print progress.
    ❏Printing may take a longer time to start.
    Monitoring Preferences
    This function lets you specify the monitoring feature of EPSON 
    Status Monitor 3.
