Epson 2500 ユーザーズマニュアル

If your printouts are light or have gaps in the image, you may 
need to clean the print head. This unclogs the nozzles so they 
can deliver ink properly.

Cleaning the print head uses ink, so clean it only if print quality 
declines. You can clean the print head using either:

■

The Head Cleaning utility in your printer software (with 
the printer connected to a local port, not over a network)

■

The EPSON Stylus Scan’s control panel buttons.

Follow these steps to use the Head Cleaning utility 
(recommended method):

1. Make sure the EPSON Stylus Scan is turned on but not 

printing. Also, make sure that there’s no ink out message on 
the LCD panel.

2. Start an application and open a document. Access the 

printer settings dialog box as described in “Basic Printing 
with Windows” on page 39 or “Basic Printing on a 
Macintosh” on page 42.

3. Click the 

Utility

 tab (Windows) or the 

 Utility icon 

(Macintosh). You see the Utility menu.

4. Click the 

Head Cleaning

 icon. 

5. Follow the on-screen instructions to clean the print head. 

Cleaning takes a few minutes, during which the EPSON 
Stylus Scan makes some noise and the 

Operate

 light 

flashes. When the 

Operate

 light stops flashing, continue 

with the next step.

6. Make sure paper is loaded in the EPSON Stylus Scan and 

click 

Print nozzle check pattern

 (Windows) or 

Confirmation

 (Macintosh). The nozzle check pattern 

prints. (See page 128 for details.)
