Performing a Power Cleaning
If you’re unable to clean the print head fully as described above, you can
perform a power cleaning. You should not perform a power cleaning more
often than necessary, since it consumes additional ink.

2. Press

CLEANING
.
3. Press
r until EXEC appears on the display, then press Enter.
The printer performs the power cleaning. Do not turn off the printer or
interrupt this process until it is complete.
If the lines on the pattern are still missing dots after running a power
cleaning, turn the printer off and leave it overnight, then clean the print
head again the following morning. If you still see no improvement, contact
EPSON for assistance.
