Maintaining Your Printer
Follow the instructions in this chapter for checking and cleaning the print head
nozzles and replacing ink cartridges. To align the print head, if necessary, see your
on-screen Epson Information Center.
Caution:
To keep your Epson printer looking like new, don’t place anything on top of the cover or
use it as a writing surface. If you need to clean the cover, use only a soft, non-abrasive
microfiber-type cloth.
