Maintaining Your Product
Follow the instructions in this chapter to check and clean the print head nozzles, check ink
levels, and replace ink cartridges. If you need to align the print head, see the online
User’s Guide.
Caution: To keep your product 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.

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

Tip: Use the nozzle check pattern to determine which
colors need cleaning. You can save ink by cleaning only
selected colors.
Cleaning takes a few minutes. When it’s finished, you see a
message on the LCD screen.
Caution: Never turn off the product during head cleaning
or you may damage it.
6.Press 2 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, leave
the product on 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 34.
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.
Note: Printing stops when an ink cartridge is expended. If a color cartridge is expended,
you may be able to continue printing temporarily with black ink; see the online User’s Guide for more information. If the black cartridge is expended, you must replace it to
continue printing.

Maintaining Your Product
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 product
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 product ships with full cartridges
and part of the ink from the first cartridges is used for priming the product.
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.
Caution: Do not open ink cartridge packages until you are ready to install the ink.
Cartridges are vacuum packed to maintain reliability.
Leave the expended cartridge installed until you have obtained a replacement, or the
ink remaining in the print head nozzles may dry out.
