For effective cleaning, always run a nozzle check between
cycles.
If the pattern is still missing segments or has deflections
after a power cleaning cycle, turn the printer off and leave it
overnight. Then clean the print head again the following
morning with regular cleaning cycles. If you still see no
improvement, contact Epson for assistance.

Aligning the Print Head

Aligning the print head is the most important thing you can
do to ensure the best print quality. If banding appears on your
prints, if they look grainy or blurry, or you see misregistration
or "ghosting," you may need to align the print head.
Although you can align the print head using the printer utility
software, it's also easy to align from the control panel. This
will do the most thorough job in the shortest time, and it's all
automatic.
If you haven't already done so, it's a good idea to run a nozzle
check before aligning the print head (see page 6). This ensures
that the print head alignment patterns print correctly.
Follow these steps to align the print head using the control
panel:
1. Make sure the printer is turned on. Then load Epson
Enhanced Matte, Doubleweight Matte, Premium Luster
Photo paper, or the paper that came with the printer.

Each head alignment takes about 7 minutes. The printer's

If you want to verify or fine-tune the automatic alignment
process, you can perform a manual head alignment. See your
electronic Reference Guide for instructions.

Replacing the Cutter Blade

If you notice that your paper isn't cut cleanly, the cutter blade
may need to be replaced. For a list of media that are not
recommended for use with the cutter, see the Printer Guide.
You can check the status of your cutter by printing a status
sheet. See page 5 for instructions. You can obtain a new cutter
blade from Epson (part number C12C815291).
