Maintaining Your Printer

Follow the steps in these sections to keep the R1900 Series working at its best:

■

“Checking and Cleaning the Print Head” below

■

■

■

You can check and clean the print head nozzles automatically using the Auto 
Nozzle Check and Cleaning utility in your printer software. It prints a check 
pattern that your printer then reads to see if you have any clogged nozzles, which it 
then cleans, if necessary.

1. Load a few sheets of plain paper in the sheet feeder (see page 6).

2. Do one of the following:

Windows: Right-click the 

icon in 

the bottom right corner of your screen 
(the taskbar) and select 

Auto Head 

Cleaning

.

Macintosh: Open the 

Applications

 

folder, open the 

EPSON Printer 

Utility2

, select 

SP R1900

, and click 

OK

. Then select 

Auto Head 

Cleaning

.

3. Click 

Start

 and follow the on-screen instructions to allow the printer to print 

and examine the nozzle check pattern. If necessary, the printer cleans the print 
head, and may print and check the nozzle check pattern a few times. 

If nozzles are still clogged, you see a message telling you to clean the print 
head manually. See the on-screen Reference Guide for instructions.
