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

printer settings dialog box.

3. Click the 

Utility

 tab (Windows) or the 

 Utility icon 

(Macintosh). You see the Utility menu.

4. Click the 

Head Cleaning

 icon. Follow the instructions 

on the screen to print a test page.

5. Follow the instructions on the screen to clean the 

print head. 

Caution:
Never turn off the EPSON Stylus Scan while the Operate light 
is flashing, unless it hasn’t moved or made any noise for more 
than 5 minutes.

Cleaning takes a couple 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 10 for details.)

7. If the nozzle check pattern is complete, click 

Finish

. 

If the pattern is missing dots, click 

Clean

 to run another 

cleaning cycle.

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 status display panel.

2. Press the 

 

R cleaning button and hold it down for three 

seconds. Cleaning takes a couple minutes, during which the 
EPSON Stylus Scan makes some noise and the 

Operate

 

light flashes.

3. After the 

Operate

 light stops flashing, start an application 

and open a document. If you’re connected directly to the 
EPSON Stylus Scan, continue with step 4.

If you’re on a network, print the document. Then go to 
step 7.

4. Access the printer settings dialog box. Then click the 

Utility

 

tab (Windows) or the 

 Utility icon (Macintosh). You see 

the Utility menu.

5. Click the 

Nozzle Check

 icon, then follow the instructions 

on the screen to run the nozzle check and clean the print 
head.

Examine the nozzle check pattern you print. It should look 
something like this (the upper pattern should be black; the 
lower section is divided into blue, red, and yellow sections):

Each staggered horizontal and straight vertical line should be 
complete, with no gaps in the dot pattern. If your printout 
looks okay, you’re done. If any dots are missing, as shown 
below, clean the print head again.

Caution:
Load paper that’s at least letter-size width to prevent ink from 
spraying inside the EPSON Stylus Scan and smudging your 
printouts. For best results, load EPSON ink jet paper whenever you 
check the print head alignment.

If your printouts contain vertical bands or crooked vertical 
lines, you may need to use the Print Head Alignment utility in 
your printer software. Your EPSON Stylus Scan must be 
connected directly to a local port, not over a network, to use 
this utility. Follow these steps:

1. Make sure the EPSON Stylus Scan is turned on and paper 

is loaded.

2. Start an application and open a document.

3. Access the printer settings dialog box.

4. Click the 

Utility

 tab (Windows) or the 

 Utility icon 

(Macintosh). You see the Utility menu.
