Maintaining Your All-in-One

Follow the steps here to check and clean the print head, and replace ink cartridges.
To align the print head, if necessary, see your on-screen User’s Guide.

You can also perform these maintenance tasks through your RX680 Series
software. See your on-screen User’s Guide for instructions.

Note:

If you need to clean the document cover, use only a soft, non-abrasive microfiber-type
cloth.

Checking the Print Head Nozzles

If your printouts are faint or have gaps in them, the print head nozzles may be
clogged or ink may be running low in an ink cartridge. Follow these steps to check
the print head nozzles:

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 (see page 35).

Caution:

Never turn off the RX680 Series during a cleaning cycle or you may damage it.

6. Press x 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 three times, turn off your
all-in-one and wait at least six hours to let any dried ink soften. Then try printing again.

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

32 Maintaining Your All-in-One

Checking the Ink Cartridge Status

Your RX680 Series will let you know when an ink cartridge is low or expended by
displaying a message on its display screen or your computer.

Note:

You cannot print or copy when an ink cartridge is expended even if the other cartridges
are not expended. Replace any expended cartridges before printing or copying.

necessary.

A window may also appear on your computer screen if you print when ink is low.
This window can optionally display ink offers and other updates retrieved from an
Epson website. On a Windows computer that is connected to the Internet, you
may see a screen asking if you want to receive these Epson offers the first time you

Purchasing Epson Ink Cartridges

You can purchase genuine Epson ink and paper at 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 800-GO-EPSON (800-463-7766). Use the following list when you order or
purchase new ink cartridges:

Ink color Part number

Black 78 or 77 (High Capacity)

Cyan 78 or 77 (High Capacity)

Light Cyan 78 or 77 (High Capacity)

Magenta 78 or 77 (High Capacity)

Light Magenta 78 or 77 (High Capacity)

Yellow 78 or 77 (High Capacity)

Note:

Try the High Capacity 77 cartridges available at http://www.epson.com/highcapacity
(U.S. sales) or http://www.epson.ca (Canadian sales) or the 77 color multipack available
at your local reseller.

You can use any combination of cartridge sizes. (If you’ve installed a 77 black cartridge,
you can still use a 78 magenta cartridge, for example).

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. The 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.

Store ink cartridges in a cool, dark place. If you bring them inside from out in the cold,
allow them to warm up to room temperature for at least 3 hours before using them.

34 Maintaining Your All-in-One

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.

Leave your old cartridges in the RX680 Series until you are ready to replace them to
prevent the print head nozzles from drying out.

Remove the CD/DVD tray and return the CD/DVD guide to the stored position before
replacing ink cartridges.

1. Turn on your RX680 Series.

If a cartridge is low or expended, you see a message on the display screen. Note
which cartridges need to be replaced and press

If you’re replacing a cartridge before you see a message on the display screen,

3. 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.

Replacing Ink Cartridges 35

4. Remove the cartridge from the package, but be careful not to
touch the green chip on the edge.

5. Remove the yellow tape from the bottom of the ink cartridge.

Caution:

Do not remove any other labels or seals, or ink will leak.

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

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

8. Close the scanner.

9. Press

OK to begin charging the ink. This takes about 2 minutes. When you

see a completion message on the display screen, ink charging is finished.

Caution:

To conserve ink, never turn off the RX680 Series while ink is charging. 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.

■ If you see a message that paper is jammed in the bottom of the all-in-one, see

your on-screen User’s Guide for instructions on clearing the jam.

Print Quality Problems

■ Make sure the document is placed flat against the document table glass and

the all-in-one is not tilted or placed on an uneven surface.

■ In the rear sheet feeder, load the paper printable side face-up. In the front

paper cassette, load paper with the printable side face-down.

■ Make sure your paper isn’t damp or curled.

■ Use a support sheet with special paper or load your paper one sheet at a time.

Remove sheets from the output tray so not too many collect at a time.

■ Make sure the type of paper you loaded matches the paper size and type

settings on the control panel (see page 13) and in your software (see page 28).

■ For the best print quality, use Epson special paper (see page 10) and genuine

Epson ink cartridges (see page 35).

■ If you notice light or dark bands across your printouts or they are too faint,

you may need to clean the print head to unclog the nozzles. Run a nozzle
check (see page 31) to see if the print head needs cleaning.

■ Clean the print head (see page 32).

■ If you notice jagged vertical lines, you may need to align the print head. See

the on-screen User’s Guide for instructions.

■ The ink cartridges may be low on ink (see page 35 for instructions on

replacing an ink cartridge).

■ If a dotted line appears in the image, clean the scanner glass with a soft, dry,

lint-free cloth (paper towels are not recommended), or use a small amount of
glass cleaner on a soft cloth. Do not spray glass cleaner directly on the glass.

Important Safety Instructions

Before using your all-in-one, read and follow these safety instructions:

■ Be sure to follow all warnings and instructions marked on the RX680 Series.

■ Use only the type of power source indicated on the RX680 Series label.

■ Use only the power cord that comes with the RX680 Series. Use of another cord may

cause fires or shock. Do not use the cord with any other equipment.

■ Place the RX680 Series near a wall outlet where the plug can be easily unplugged.

■ If you won’t be using the RX680 Series for a long period, unplug the power cord from

the electrical outlet.

■ Always turn off the RX680 Series using the P On button, and wait until the P On

light stops flashing before unplugging the printer or cutting off power to the electrical
outlet.

■ Avoid plugging the RX680 Series into an outlet on the same circuit as a photo copier

or air control system that regularly switches on and off, or on an outlet controlled by a
wall switch or timer.

■ Do not let the power cord become damaged or frayed.

■ If you use an extension cord with the RX680 Series, 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 locations that are subject to rapid changes in heat or humidity, shocks or

vibrations, or dust.

■ Leave enough room around the RX680 Series for sufficient ventilation. Do not block

or cover openings in the RX680 Series case or insert objects through the slots.

■ Do not place the RX680 Series near a radiator or heating vent or in direct sunlight.

■ Place the RX680 Series 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.

■ Make sure the RX680 Series is at least 4 inches (10 cm) away from the wall.

■ Do not open the scanner section while copying, printing, or scanning.

■ Do not touch the flat white cable inside the RX680 Series, and be careful not to trap

your fingers when closing the scanner.

42 Notices

■ Do not spill liquid on the RX680 Series.

■ Use only a dry, soft cloth to clean the LCD screen. Do not use liquid or chemical

cleansers.

■ If the LCD screen is damaged, contact Epson. If the liquid crystal solution gets on

your hands, wash them thoroughly with soap and water. If the liquid crystal solution
gets into your eyes, flush them immediately with water. If discomfort or vision
problems remain after a thorough flushing, see a doctor immediately.

■ Except as specifically explained in your documentation, do not attempt to service the

RX680 Series yourself.

■ Unplug the RX680 Series 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.

■ When storing or transporting the RX680 Series, do not tilt it, stand it on its side, or

turn it upside down; otherwise ink may leak from the cartridges.

Ink Cartridge Safety Instructions

■ 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 RX680 Series or touch any cartridges during printing.

■ Install a new ink cartridge immediately after removing an expended one. Leaving

cartridges uninstalled can dry out the print head and may prevent the RX680 Series
from 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 RX680 Series. 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. Do not store the cartridge upside down.

Display Screen Safety

■ Use only a dry, soft cloth to clean the screen. Do not use liquid or chemical cleansers.

■ If the screen is damaged, contact Epson. If the liquid crystal solution gets on your

hands, wash them thoroughly with soap and water. If the solution gets into your eyes,
flush them immediately with water. If discomfort or vision problems remain after a
thorough flushing, see a doctor immediately.
