Maintaining Your CX6600
If you notice a decline in print quality, follow the instructions in this chapter to
check and clean the print head. You’ll also find instructions on checking ink levels
and replacing the ink cartridges.
See these sections:
■“Cleaning the Print Head” below
■“Replacing Ink Cartridges” on page 33
Cleaning the Print Head
If your printouts are unexpectedly light or faint, or you notice light or dark bands
across your printout, you may need to clean the print head. This unclogs the
nozzles so they can deliver ink properly.
Note:
Print head cleaning uses ink, so clean it only if quality declines.
If you notice that text or straight vertical lines appear jagged, you may need to align the
print head. See your on-screen Reference Guide for details.
Running a Nozzle Check

the CX6600.
3. When the message “Head cleaning . . .” disappears, repeat the nozzle check
(see page 31) to verify that the print head is clean.
If you don’t see any improvement after cleaning three or four times, turn off
the CX6600 and wait overnight. This lets any dried ink soften. Then try
cleaning the print head again the next day.

Solving Problems
If you have a problem with your Stylus CX6600, check the messages on the LCD
screen, run a nozzle check (see page 31), or see “Problems and Solutions” below.
For problems with scanning or printing from your computer, double-click the
CX6600 Reference Guide icon on your computer desktop.
If none of these solutions solves your problem, see “Where To Get Help” on
page 39.
Problems and Solutions
Check the solutions below if you’re having trouble using your CX6600 in
stand-alone mode.
Copying Problems
■Make sure your paper is positioned on the right side of the sheet feeder,
behind the feeder guard, then slide the left edge guide against the paper
(but not too tightly). Don’t load paper above the arrow on the left edge guide.
■Make sure your paper is loaded short edge first.
■Make sure your original is positioned in the top-left corner of the glass, with
the short edge at the left (see page 29). Place it approximately 1/8 inch from
the edge of the glass to avoid cropping.
■Make sure you select the copy layout you want. See page 17 for instructions.
■If you select Auto Fit Page to copy a document with white or very light
edges, the original size may not be recognized correctly. Select
Reduce/Enlarge setting and use the Optional Zoom setting to adjust the size
of your copy.
Actual as the
37
Paper Feeding Problems
■If paper doesn’t feed, remove it from the sheet feeder. Fan the paper, load it
against the right side, behind the feeder guard, and slide the left edge guide
against the paper (but not too tightly).
■If paper jams, follow these steps:
1. Press the P
On button to turn off the CX6600.
2. Lift up the scanner and remove any paper that’s inside, including any
small pieces that may have torn off.
Caution:
Clear paper jams by pulling the paper out towards the front of the CX6600.
Never pull the paper out in the direction of the sheet feeder.
3. Turn the CX6600 back on and reload the paper. Make sure the edges are
not creased or folded.
Copy Quality Problems
If you have any problems with the quality of your copies, try these solutions:
■Make sure the document is placed flat against the document table glass. If
only part of the image is blurred, your document may be wrinkled or warped.
■Make sure the CX6600 is not tilted or placed on an uneven surface.
■Clean the print head; see page 31 for instructions.
■If a dotted line appears in the image, clean the scanner glass with a soft, dry,
lint-free cloth (paper towels are not recommended). If the glass is still not
clean, use a small amount of glass cleaner on a soft cloth. Make sure you wipe
off any remaining liquid. Don’t spray glass cleaner directly on the glass.
■Make sure your paper isn’t damp, curled, or loaded face down (the printable
side should be face up). Load new paper face up. Use Epson papers for proper
saturation and absorption of genuine Epson inks.
■Use a support sheet with special paper or load your paper one sheet at a time.
■If you notice jagged vertical lines, you may need to align the print head. See
your on-screen CX6600 Reference Guide for instructions.
■The ink cartridges may be old or low on ink; see page 33 for instructions on
replacing an ink cartridge.

Important Safety Instructions
Before using your Epson Stylus CX6600, read and follow these safety instructions:
■Be sure to follow all warnings and instructions marked on the Stylus CX6600.
■Use only the type of power source indicated on the Stylus CX6600 label.
■Connect all equipment to properly grounded power outlets. Avoid using outlets on
the same circuit as air control systems or other high-load devices that regularly switch
on and off.
■Place the Stylus CX6600 near a wall outlet where the plug can be easily unplugged.
Placez l’imprimante près d’une prise de contacte où la fiche peut être débranchée
facilement.
■Do not let the power cord become damaged or frayed.
■If you use an extension cord with the Stylus CX6600, make sure the total ampere
rating of the devices plugged into the extension cord does not exceed the cord’s
ampere rating. Also, make sure the total ampere rating of all devices plugged into the
wall outlet does not exceed the wall outlet’s ampere rating.
■Avoid electrical outlets controlled by wall switches or automatic timers.
■Keep your Stylus CX6600 and computer system away from potential sources of
electromagnetic interference, such as loudspeakers or cordless telephone base units.
■Avoid locations that are subject to rapid changes in heat or humidity, shocks or
vibrations, or dust.
■Leave enough room around the Stylus CX6600 for sufficient ventilation.
■Do not place the Stylus CX6600 near a radiator or heating vent or in direct sunlight.
■Place the Stylus CX6600 on a flat, stable surface that extends beyond its base in all
directions. It will not operate properly if it is tilted or at an angle. Leave enough space
in front of the Stylus CX6600 (at least 9 inches) so it doesn’t tip forward and fall off
of the work surface.
■Turn off and unplug the Stylus CX6600 before cleaning. Clean with a damp cloth
only. Do not spill liquid on it.
■Always turn the Stylus CX6600 off using the P On button. Don’t turn off the power
using a switch on a power strip or unplug the Stylus CX6600 until the
On light is off.
41
■Do not block or cover openings in the Stylus CX6600 case or insert objects through
the slots.
■Except as specifically explained in your documentation, do not attempt to service the
Stylus CX6600 yourself.
■Unplug the Stylus CX6600 and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under
the following conditions: if the power cord or plug is damaged; if liquid has entered
the product; if the product has been dropped or the case damaged; if the product does
not operate normally or exhibits a distinct change in performance. Adjust only those
controls that are covered by the operating instructions.
■Before transporting the Stylus CX6600, make sure the print head is capped in the far
right position and the ink cartridges are in place.
■This product includes a lamp component that contains mercury (Hg). Please consult
your state and local regulations regarding disposal or recycling. Do not put in the
trash.
Ink Cartridge Safety Instructions
■Leave the ink cartridges installed. Removing the cartridges can dehydrate the print
head and may prevent the Stylus CX6600 from printing.
■Keep ink cartridges out of the reach of children and do not drink the ink.
■Be careful when you handle used ink cartridges; there may be ink remaining around
the ink supply port. If ink gets on your skin, wash it off with soap and water. If it gets
in your eyes, flush them immediately with water.
■Do not put your hand inside the Stylus CX6600 or touch the cartridge during
printing.
■Do not move the print head by hand; otherwise you may damage the Stylus CX6600.
■Install the ink cartridge immediately after you remove it from its package. Leaving the
cartridge unpacked for a long time before use may result in reduced print quality.
■Do not use an ink cartridge beyond the date printed on the cartridge package. For
best results, use up the ink cartridges within six months of first installing them.
■Store ink cartridges in a cool, dark place. Store each ink cartridge so that the bottom
of its package faces down.
■After bringing an ink cartridge inside from a cold storage site, allow it to warm up at
room temperature for at least three hours before using it.
■Do not remove or tear the label on an ink cartridge; this can cause leakage.
■Do not dismantle the ink cartridges or try to refill them. This could result in damage
to the print head.
42 Notices
■Do not touch the green IC chip on the side of the cartridge. This may affect normal
operation and printing.
■If you remove an ink cartridge for later use, protect the ink supply area from dirt and
dust and store it in the same environment as the Stylus CX6600. Note that there is a
valve in the ink supply port, making covers or plugs unnecessary, but care is needed to
prevent the ink from staining items that the cartridge touches. Do not touch the ink
cartridge ink supply port or surrounding area.
LCD Panel Safety Instructions
■Use only a dry soft cloth to clean the LCD display. Don’t use liquid or chemical
cleaners.
■If the LCD display is damaged, contact your dealer.
■If LCD solution gets on your skin, wash it off thoroughly with soap and water. If it
gets in your eyes, flush them immediately with water.
