Power Ink Flushing - Epson SL-D500 Series User Manual

SL-D500 Series User's Guide
If the clogs are not cleared even after executing
Powerful Cleaning, then do not use the printer
for printing for at least 12 hours. Waiting this
time may allow the clogged ink to dissolve.
If that does not improve the situation, execute

Power Ink Flushing.

See the next section for details about Power Ink
Flushing.
Power Ink Flushing
If clogs do not clear after executing Powerful Cleaning
and then not using the printer to print for more than
12 hours, executing Power Ink Flushing may improve
print quality.
Executing Power Ink Flushing replaces all of the ink in
the ink tubes.

Important:
❏ Before starting work, visually check that the
ink tank is more than 50% percent full.
Because all of the ink in the ink tubes is
replaced, if you perform this operation with
only a small amount of ink remaining, the ink
may contain bubbles and you will not be able
to print correctly.
❏ You may need to replace the maintenance box.
Ink in the tubes is discharged into the
maintenance box. When the maintenance box
is full, you cannot print until it has been
replaced. We recommend preparing a new
maintenance box in advance.
