Note:
❏ Print head cleaning consumes some ink. To avoid wasting ink, clean
the print head only if print quality declines; for example, if the
printout is blurry or the color is incorrect or missing.
❏ Use the Nozzle Check utility first to confirm that the print head
needs to be cleaned. This saves ink.
❏ When the H ink error light is flashing or on, you cannot clean the
print head. Replace the appropriate ink cartridge first.
Using the Auto Nozzle Check and Cleaning utility
Epson recommends using the Auto Nozzle Check and Cleaning
utility which cleans the nozzles automatically.
Refer to the appropriate section below to use the Head Cleaning
utility.
For Windows
Follow the steps below to clean the print head using the Auto
Head Cleaning utility.
1. Make sure that the printer is turned on and the H ink error
light is off.
2. Make sure that A4 or Letter size plain paper is loaded into the
sheet feeder.
Note:
Make sure that paper is not loaded into the front manual feed slot
and the front printer cover is closed before using the Auto Nozzle
Check and Cleaning utility.
3. Access the printer software.
