Installing an Ink Cartridge for the First Time
1. Plug the printer’s power cord into a grounded outlet.
Caution:
Don’t use an outlet that can be turned off by a wall switch or timer,
or one on the same circuit as a large appliance. This may disrupt the
power, which can erase the printer’s memory or damage its power
supply.
2. Remove the ink cartridges from their packages. Then
remove only

Testing the Printer
You can run a printer operation check to determine whether
the problem comes from the printer or some other source.
❏ If the results are satisfactory, the problem lies in your
software settings, the interface cable, or your computer.
❏ If the check page does not print correctly, you have a
problem with your printer. See the User’s Guide for possible
solutions.
1. Make sure both the printer and computer are turned off.
2. Disconnect the interface cable from the printer.
3. Make sure paper is loaded in the printer.
Caution:
Load paper that’s at least 8.27 inches (210 mm) wide. This
prevents ink from spraying inside the printer and smudging your
printouts.

Cleaning the Print Head
If your printed image is unexpectedly light or faint, or dots are
missing from the image, you may need to clean the print head.
This unclogs the nozzles so they can deliver ink properly.
Cleaning the print head uses ink, so clean it only if print
quality declines. You can clean the print head in either of the
following ways:
❏ With the Head Cleaning utility (when connected to a local
port, not over a network)
❏ Using the printer’s control panel buttons
Using the Head Cleaning Utility
1. Make sure the printer is turned on but not printing, and the
B black and A color ink out lights are off.
2. Do one of the following:
❏ (Windows) Click

Aligning the Print Head
If your printouts contain misaligned vertical lines, you may
need to align the print head using the Print Head Alignment
utility in your printer software. Your EPSON Stylus Scan

this utility.

prevents ink f rom spraying inside the printer and smudging your
printouts. For the best results, load EPSON ink jet paper in the
printer whenever you check the print head alignment.
2. Do one of the following:
❏ (Windows) Click
Printers. Right-click the EPSON Stylus Scan 2000
icon and select
❏ (Macintosh) Open the File menu and choose
or Print. Then click the Utility icon.
