Notes on head cleaning
Note the following points when performing head
cleaning.
❏ Clean the print head only if print quality declines;
for example, if the printout is blurry or the color is
incorrect or missing. Ink is consumed when head
cleaning is performed.
❏ Cleaning all nozzles consumes some of each color of
ink. Even if you are using only black inks for black
and white printing, color inks are also consumed.
❏ When repeating head cleaning in a short time
period, the Maintenance Box may fill up quickly
due to a small amount of ink evaporation in the
Maintenance Box. Maintenance Box if there is not
enough empty space in the box.
❏ If the nozzles are still clogged after performing head
cleaning, turn off the printer and leave it overnight
or longer. When left for some time, the clogged ink
may dissolve.
If the nozzles are still clogged, contact your dealer or
Epson Support.
Head Cleaning Level
You can select between three different levels for Head
Cleaning.
Select Light first. If the pattern still contains faint or
missing segments after head cleaning has been
performed once, try again using Medium or Heavy.
