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, or replace the maintenance box, see the online User’s Guide.

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 page 21).

3. When you see the first screen, press OK, then choose the colors you want to clean.
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.

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 28.
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

If an ink cartridge is expended, you see a message on your printer’s LCD screen:
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.

A window may also appear on your computer screen when you try to print when ink is low. This window can optionally display ink offers and other updates from Epson.
Note: To disable checking for ink offers or updates from Epson, 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 Part number
Black 676XL
Cyan 676XL
Magenta 676XL
Yellow 676XL
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 included cartridges prime the printer and print about 1000 black pages/900 color pages. Actual page count will vary.
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.
20
Purchasing Epson Ink Cartridges

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.
1. Turn on the product.
2. If an ink cartridge is expended, you see a message on the LCD screen. Note which cartridges need to be replaced and press
If a cartridge is expended, you must replace it to be able to print. If a cartridge is low, you can continue printing until a cartridge needs replacement.
3. Open the front cover.
4. Push in the ink cartridge that you want to replace, then pull it out as shown.
OK
.
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. Remove the new cartridge from its package.
Caution: Do not remove any other labels or seals, or ink will leak. Do not touch the green chip on the side of the cartridge. This can damage the ink cartridge.
Replacing Ink Cartridges

6. Shake the cartridge as shown for about 5 seconds.
Caution: Do not shake used cartridges, or ink may leak.
7. Insert the new ink cartridge into the slot and push it in until it clicks into place.
8. Close the front cover.
After the product checks the cartridge, ink replacement is complete.
Caution: Never turn off the product while replacing ink cartridges. If you remove a low or expended ink cartridge, you cannot reinstall and use the cartridge.

Network Setup and Printing Problems
Try connecting to the router or access point with your computer or another device to confirm that it is working correctly.
Try resetting the router (turn it off and then on), then try to connect to it again.
Print a Network Status Sheet (see page 24). Verify that the network settings are correct and check the signal strength. If it’s poor, try moving the product closer to your router or access point. Avoid placing it next to a microwave oven, 2.4 GHz cordless phone, or large metal object such as a filing cabinet.
If your wireless router doesn’t broadcast its network name (SSID), see your online User’s Guide for instructions on manually entering your wireless network name.
If your wireless router has security enabled, make sure you entered the WEP key or WPA passphrase correctly.
When using TCP/IP, make sure your network’s DHCP option is enabled (your router manufacturer or your IT department will be able to assist you with this setting).
Remove and reinsert the CD to reinstall your product software.
Disable the firewall temporarily to see if that may be causing the problem. Contact your firewall manufacturer for assistance.
Make sure your firewall or security software is not set to block port 3629 (TCP/ UDP). Contact your firewall manufacturer for assistance.

If network communication was interrupted while starting Epson Scan, exit Epson Scan, and restart it after a few seconds. If Epson Scan cannot restart, turn the product off and on, and then try again. Check the
