2.Press F Setup.

3.Press u or d to select Maintenance, then press OK.

4.Press u or d to select Head Cleaning, press OK, then press OK again.

Tip: Use the nozzle check pattern to determine which colors need cleaning. You can save ink by cleaning only selected colors.

Cleaning lasts around 2 1/2 minutes. When it’s finished, you see a message on the LCD screen.

Caution: Never turn off the product during head cleaning or you may damage it.

6.Press 2 to run a nozzle check and confirm that the print head is clean.

Note: If you don’t see any improvement after cleaning the print head four times, leave the product on and wait at least six hours to let any dried ink soften. Then try cleaning the print head again. If quality does not improve, one of the ink cartridges may need to be replaced. If that doesn’t help, contact Epson as described on page 34.

If you do not use your product often, it is a good idea to print a few pages at least once a month to maintain good print quality.

Note: We recommend that you use genuine Epson cartridges and do not refill them. The use of other products may affect your print quality and could result in product damage.

Yields vary considerably based on images printed, print settings, paper type, frequency of use, and temperature. For print quality, a small amount of ink remains in the cartridge after the “replace cartridge” indicator comes on. The product ships with full cartridges and part of the ink from the first cartridges is used for priming the product.

For best printing results, use up a cartridge within six months of opening the package and before the expiration date on the cartridge box.

Store ink cartridges in a cool, dark place. If cartridges have been exposed to cold temperatures, allow them to warm up to room temperature for at least 3 hours before using them.

Replacing Ink Cartridges

Make sure you have a new ink cartridge before you begin.

Caution: Do not open ink cartridge packages until you are ready to install the ink. Cartridges are vacuum packed to maintain reliability.

Leave the expended cartridge installed until you have obtained a replacement, or the ink remaining in the print head nozzles may dry out.

1.Turn on the product.

2.If an ink cartridge is low or expended, you see a message on the LCD screen indicating which color to replace. Press

OK.

If you’re replacing a cartridge before you see a message on the LCD screen, press F Setup, select Maintenance, then select Ink Cartridge Replacement.

3.Open the scanner, then open the cartridge cover.

carefully. Do not take the used cartridge apart or try to refill it.

Warning: If ink gets on your hands, wash them thoroughly with soap and water. If ink gets into your eyes, flush them immediately with water. Keep ink cartridges out of the reach of children and don’t drink the ink.

5.Before you open the new cartridge package, shake it gently four or five times. Then remove it from the package.

6.Remove the yellow tape from the bottom of the ink

cartridge.

Caution: Do not remove any other labels or seals, or ink will leak. Do not touch the green chip on the front of the cartridge. This can damage the ink cartridge.

7.Insert the new ink cartridge into the holder and push it down until it clicks into place.

8.Once you replace all the cartridges that need replacing, close the cartridge cover and push it down until it clicks into place.

9.Close the scanner to begin charging the ink. This takes about 2 1/2 minutes. When you see a completion message on the LCD screen, ink charging is finished.

Caution: Never turn off the product while ink is charging or you’ll waste ink. If you see an ink replacement message on the LCD screen, press OK and press down all the cartridges securely. Then press OK again. If you remove a low or expended ink cartridge, you cannot reinstall and use the cartridge.
