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 38).

1. Load letter-size plain paper in the sheet feeder.

2. Press the 

Copy/Fax

 button, then press 

Menu

.

3. Press u or d to select 

Maintenance

, then press 

OK

.

4. Press u or d to select 

Head Cleaning

, then 

press the x

Color

 button.

Cleaning lasts around 1 minute. When it’s 
finished, you see a message on the display screen.

Caution:
Never turn off the printer during a cleaning cycle or you may damage it.

5. Press 

1

 to finish or 

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 three times, turn off 
your NX300/305 Series and wait at least six hours to let any dried ink soften. Then try 
printing 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 44.

If you do not use your NX300/305 Series often, it is a good idea to print a few pages at 
least once a month to maintain good print quality.
