Maintaining Your Product

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 online User’s Guide.
Caution: To keep your 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, non­abrasive microfiber-type cloth.

Checking the Print Head Nozzles

If your printouts are faint or have gaps in them, some of the nozzles in the print head may be clogged or ink may be running low in one or more of the ink cartridges. Follow the steps below to check the print head nozzles.
1. Load letter- or A4-size plain paper in the paper cassette.

Cleaning the Print Head

If print quality has declined and the nozzle check indicates clogged nozzles, you can clean the print head. Print head cleaning uses ink, so clean it only if necessary.
Note: You cannot clean the print head if an ink cartridge is expended, and may not be able to clean it when a cartridge is low. You must replace the cartridge first page 20).

6. Press u or d to select Nozzle Check, press OK, and press Start 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, turn off the printer 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 29.
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.

Checking Ink Levels

You can check the ink levels anytime right on the LCD screen. To check the ink levels with your Windows or Mac OS X software, see the instructions in your online User’s Guide.

Purchasing Epson Ink Cartridges

You can purchase genuine Epson ink and paper from Epson Supplies Central at www.epson.com/ink3 (U.S. sales) or www.epson.ca (Canadian sales). You can also purchase supplies from an Epson authorized reseller. To find the nearest one, call 800­GO-EPSON (800-463-7766).
Use the following list when you order or purchase new ink cartridges (you can mix Standard- and Extra High-capacity cartridges):
Ink color Standard-capacity Extra High-capacity
Black 125 127 Cyan 125 127 Magenta 125 127 Yellow 125 127
Maintaining Your Product 19
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 printer 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. Your printer ships with full cartridges and part of the ink from the first cartridges is used for priming the printer.
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. You must install new cartridges immediately after removing the old ones.
Caution: Do not open ink cartridge packages until you are ready to install the ink. Cartridges are vacuum packed to maintain reliability.
Note: 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 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 or r to select F

4. Squeeze the tab on the cartridge and lift it up. Dispose of it 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 may 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 your product while ink is charging or you’ll waste ink. If you see an ink replacement message on the display screen, press OK and press down all the cartridges securely. If you remove a low or expended ink cartridge, you cannot reinstall and use the cartridge.
