Using the Printer Utilities
The EPSON printer utilities let you check the current printer 
status and perform printer maintenance from your screen. 
Note:
❏Do not use the Nozzle Check, Head Cleaning, or Print Head 
Alignment utilities if your printer is connected to your computer 
through a network.
❏Do not use the Nozzle Check, Head Cleaning, or Print Head 
Alignment utilities while printing is in progress; otherwise, your 
printout may be marred.
EPSON StatusMonitor

the amount of remaining ink. 
Nozzle Check
This utility checks the print head nozzles for clogging. Check the 
nozzles when you notice the print quality has declined and after
