4. Press d to select AUTO NOZZLE CHECK, then press OK to start
checking the nozzles.
The LCD screen will report any color that has a clog and prompt if you
want to clean it. If no clog is detected, the message “Nozzle clog was not
detected” will appear on the LCD screen.
Running Cleaning Cycles
You can run several types of cleaning cycles from the control panel (or from
the Epson LFP Remote Panel): normal cleaning, power cleaning, and
cleaning each pair of ink colors.
Run the power cleaning only if the normal cleaning process is not sufficient
to clear the nozzles. The power cycle uses a large quantity of ink, so it is
recommended only as a last resort.
You may need to replace a low cartridge to run the cleaning cycle. After
cleaning, you can reinsert the old cartridge.
1. Print a nozzle check to make sure the print head needs cleaning, as
described on page 123.
2. Make sure the printer is ready and the red B
Ink Check light on the
printer’s control panel is not on or flashing.
