Cleaning the Rollers
Before you print on CDs or DVDs, it’s a good idea to clean

EPSON Stylus Photo R200
Inserting a CD or DVD
Make sure the data, music, or video is burned on your ink
jet-printable CDs or DVDs before you print. Otherwise, dirt
or scratches on the surface may cause errors when you burn
the data. If you plan to print a large number of CDs or DVDs,
it’s a good idea to print a small sample, then wait a day and
check the quality to make sure it’s satisfactory.
If you want to check the print position or color, see your
Printer Basics book.
Before you insert a CD or DVD, make sure the printer is
turned on. Otherwise, the disc may not be positioned
correctly. Then follow these steps:
1. Push in the output tray extension, but leave the tray open.
2. Open the printer cover and pull down the CD/DVD tray
guide.
4. Insert the tray carefully, making sure it’s level, not tilted up
or down. Push the tray under the tab and the two rollers.
Don’t push the tray in too far and make sure that the arrows
line up exactly.
5. Follow the instructions in “Printing Your Design” on
page 7 to print with EPSON Print CD.
Designing CDs and DVDs
You can use the EPSON Print CD program (included on the
Printer Software CD-ROM) to create and print a design with
images, graphics, and text. See your Printer Basics book for
instructions.
3. Place the CD or DVD on the CD/DVD tray with the white
or printable side face-up. Make sure the disc lays flat in the
tray.
To print on a small CD (8-cm), place the small CD ring on
the tray first, then place the CD inside the ring.
Caution: Make sure you always use the small CD ring when
printing on 8-cm CDs and that the CD and ring lay flat on the tray,
otherwise the printer may be damaged.
Always use this
piece with 8 cm CDs

Applications folder and
Page Setup or Print
from the File menu. Click the icon, then select
Head Cleaning.
3. Follow the instructions on the screen to clean the print
head.
Cleaning takes about 45 seconds. The printer makes noise
and the green P power light flashes.
Caution: Never turn off the printer while the green P power light is
flashing, unless the printer hasn’t moved or made noise for more
than 5 minutes.
4. When the green P power light stops flashing, make sure
paper is loaded in the printer, then do one of the following:
❏ Windows: Click
Print.
❏ Macintosh: Click
Print nozzle check pattern, then click
Confirmation, then click Next.
The nozzle check pattern prints.
5. If the nozzle check pattern has no white lines or gaps (as
shown below),
click
Finish.
If your printouts are unexpectedly light or dots or lines are
missing, you may need to clean the print head. This unclogs
the nozzles so they can deliver ink properly. Print head
cleaning uses ink, so clean it only if quality declines.
This section explains how to clean the print head using the
Head Cleaning Utility.
You can also clean the print head by holding down the H ink
button on the printer for three seconds. (This only works
when the red H ink light is off.)
Caution: When you don’t turn on your printer for a long time, print
quality can decline, so turn it on and print a few pages at least once
a month to maintain good print quality.
Running the Head Cleaning Utility
1. Make sure the printer is turned on but not printing, and the
red H ink light is off. (If the H ink light is flashing or on, you
need to replace a cartridge; see page 4 for details.)
2. Do one of the following:
❏ Windows: Right-click the icon on your taskbar (in
the lower right corner of your screen). Select
Cleaning
.
Head
If the pattern has white lines or gaps (as shown below), click
Clean to clean the print head again.
If you don’t see any improvement after cleaning three or
four times, you can also turn the printer off and wait
overnight—this allows any dried ink to soften—and then
try cleaning the print head again.

Cleaning the Printer
To keep your printer working at its best, you should clean it
several times a year.
1. Turn off the printer, unplug the power cord, and
disconnect the USB cable.
2. Remove all the paper, then use a soft brush to clean the
sheet feeder.
3. If the outer case or inside of the sheet feeder are dirty, clean
it with a soft cloth dampened with mild detergent. Keep the
printer cover closed to prevent water from getting inside.

Warning: Don’t touch the gears or any other parts inside the
printer.
Caution: Never use a hard or abrasive brush, or benzine, alcohol, or
paint thinner for cleaning; they can damage the printer components
and case.
Don’t get water on the printer components and don’t spray
lubricants or oils inside the printer.
Don’t use any cleaning sheets included with special paper; they
may jam inside the printer.
After transporting the printer, remove the tape securing the
print head and test your printer. If you notice a decline in
print quality, clean the print head (see page 9); if output is
misaligned, align the print head (see page 10).
