Running the Head Cleaning Utility
1. Make sure the printer is turned on but not printing, and the red   ink light is off. 
(If the   ink light is flashing or on, you need to replace a cartridge; see “Replacing 
an Ink Cartridge” on page 45 for details.)
2. Windows: Right-click the   printer icon on your taskbar (in the lower right 
corner of your screen). Select 
Head Cleaning.
Macintosh OS X: Open the Applications folder and double-click EPSON 
Printer Utility
. Select Stylus C84 in the printer list, click OK, and select Head 
Cleaning
.
Macintosh OS 8.6 to 9.x: Open the File menu and choose Page Setup or Print. 
Click the   utility button, then click the   Head Cleaning button.
3. Follow the instructions on the screen to clean the print head. 
Cleaning takes several seconds. The printer makes noise and the green   power 
light flashes.
Caution: Never turn off the printer while the green   power light is flashing, 
unless the printer hasn’t moved or made noise for more than 5 minutes.
