clogged. Follow these steps to check the print head nozzles:

Then press xStart to clean the print head.

							Cleaning the Print Head39
Cleaning the Print Head
If print quality has declined and the nozzle check 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 42).
1. Load letter- or A4-size plain paper in the sheet feeder (see page 6).
2. Press the Home button.
3. Press l, r, u, or d to select Setup, then press OK.
4. Press l or r to select Maintenance, then press OK. 
You see this screen: 
5. Select Head Cleaning and press OK.
6. Press xStart.
Cleaning takes about 2 minutes. When it’s finished, 
you see a message on the display screen.
Caution: 
Never turn off the printer during a cleaning cycle or you may damage it.
7. Select Nozzle Check and press OK. Then press xStart to run a nozzle check 
and confirm that the print head is clean.
8. If there are still gaps or the pattern is faint, repeat steps 5 through 7 to run 
another cleaning cycle and check the nozzles again.
9. Select Finish Nozzle Check and press OK when you’re done.
Note: 
If you don’t see any improvement after cleaning the print head four times, turn off your 
product and wait at least six hours to let any dried ink soften. Then try printing again.
If you do not use your product often, it is a good idea to print a few pages at least once 
a month to maintain good print quality.

Checking the Ink Cartridge Status
Your product will let you know when an ink cartridge is low or expended by 
displaying a message on its display screen or your computer. 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.
To check ink cartridge status from the display screen anytime, follow these steps:
1. Press the Home button.
2. Press l or r to select Setup and press OK.
3. Press l or r to select Ink Levels, then press OK. You 
see a screen like this:
A cartridge marked with   is getting low on ink. 
See page 42 to replace the cartridge, if necessary.
4. Press OK to exit.
A window may appear on your computer screen when you try to print when ink is 
low. This window can optionally display ink offers and other updates retrieved 
from an Epson website.
Note:

online Epson Information Center.
