Maintenance

If print quality hasn’t improved after repeating this procedure
four or five times, turn the printer off and leave it alone overnight.
Then, perform the head cleaning again.
If the print quality still has not improved, one or both of your ink
cartridges may be old or damaged and may need to be replaced.
To replace an ink cartridge before it is empty, see “Replacing an
Old or Damaged Ink Cartridge” on page 8-8.
If print quality remains a problem after replacing the ink
cartridges, contact your dealer.
Note:
To maintain print quality, EPSON recommends turning on the printer
for at least one minute every month.
