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 21).

Tip: Use the nozzle check pattern to determine which colors need cleaning. You 
can save ink by cleaning only selected colors.

Cleaning takes a few minutes. When it’s finished, you see a message on the LCD 
screen.

Caution: Never turn off the product during head cleaning or you may damage it.

Select 

Nozzle Check

. Then press one of the x 

Start

 buttons 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 four times, leave 
the product on and wait at least six hours to let any dried ink soften. Then try cleaning 
the print head 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 28.

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

If an ink cartridge is expended, you see a message on your printer’s LCD screen:

Note: You cannot print or copy when an ink cartridge is expended even if the other 
cartridges are not expended. Replace any expended cartridges before printing or 
copying.
