Improving Print and Scan Quality
Checking and Cleaning the Print Head
If the nozzles are clogged, the printouts become faint, there is visible banding, or unexpected colors appear. When
print quality has declined, use the nozzle check feature and check if the nozzles are clogged. If the nozzles are
clogged, clean the print head.
c
Important:
Do not open the scanner unit or turn o the printer during head cleaning. If the head cleaning is incomplete, you
may not be able to print.
Note:
❏ Because print head cleaning uses some ink, clean the print head only if quality declines.
❏ When ink is low you may not be able to clean the print head. Replace the appropriate ink cartridge rst.
❏ If print quality has not improved aer repeating nozzle check and head cleaning about four times, wait for at least six
hours without printing, and then run the nozzle check again and repeat the head cleaning if necessary. If the printer
operates printing while waiting, extend the waiting time. We recommend to turn o the printer. If print quality has still
not improved, contact Epson support.
❏ To prevent the print head from drying out, always turn the printer o by pressing the
P button.
❏ To keep the print head operating at its best, we recommend printing a few pages on a regular basis.
