Cleaning the Print Head
If your printouts are unexpectedly light, or dots or lines are
missing, you may need to clean the print head. This unclogs the
nozzles so they can deliver ink properly. Print head cleaning
uses ink, so clean it only if quality declines.
Note:
You can also use a printer software utility to clean the print head right

If you don’t see any improvement after cleaning three or four
times, check the solutions in the User’s Guide. You can also turn
the EPSON Stylus CX3200 off and wait overnight—this allows
any dried ink to soften—and then try cleaning the print head
again.
Note:
When you don’t turn on your EPSON Stylus CX3200 for a long time,
the print quality can decline. It’s a good idea to turn on your Stylus
CX3200 at least once a month to maintain good print quality.
Replacing an Ink Cartridge
If the
you see an ink low or ink out message on the LCD screen and
your computer monitor, you need to replace one of the
cartridges.
When a cartridge is more than six months old, you may need to
replace it if printouts don’t look their best. If the quality doesn’t
improve after cleaning and aligning the print head, you can
replace the cartridge.
Use these EPSON ink cartridges within six months of installing
them and before the expiration date on the package:
❏
❏
Caution:
To ensure good results, use genuine EPSON ink cartridges and do
not refill them. Other products may cause damage to your EPSON
Stylus CX3200 not covered by EPSON’s warranty.
