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 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, non-abrasive 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 a few sheets of plain paper in cassette 1.

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 28).

Nozzle Check

. Then press x 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 36.

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 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 High-capacity Extra High-capacity

Black 126 127

Cyan 126 127

Magenta 126 127

Yellow 126 127

Checking Ink Levels

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. 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 the expended cartridge installed until you have obtained a replacement, or the ink remaining in the print head nozzles may dry out.

Note: If you remove a low or expended ink cartridge, you cannot reinstall and use the cartridge.

1. Turn on the product.

2. If an ink cartridge is low or expended, you see a message on the LCD screen indicating which color to replace. Press

If you’re replacing a cartridge before you see a message on the LCD screen, press then select
