Head Cleaning Utilities

If a Head Alignment Procedure does not fi x your printing issues, you will have
to initiate a Head Cleaning. Additionally, if your
printer has been idle for several days, or you
believe you have a clog, a Head Cleaning may
be the solution.
To execute a Head Cleaning, make sure your
printer is ON, but not printing, and all of the
Ink lights are off.
Load the Epson Adjustment Program and select
Particular Adjustment mode. From the main selection screen choose Head
Cleaning. From the Head Cleaning window press Cleaning and follow the on-
screen instructions. A Head Cleaning will take about 45 seconds, during which
time the printer makes noise and the Power light and the red Ink lights will fl ash.
You should never turn OFF the printer while the Power light is Y Y
fl fl fl ashing! This may damage the printer. A Head Cleaning cycle also
wipes the bottom of the head, therefore it is recommended you w w
initiate a Head Cleaning if you start to see drops of ink on garments in in
o o or if the Print Head comes in contact with a garment
Perform a Nozzle Check
When both the Power light and the Ink lights
stop fl ashing, perform a Nozzle Check. You
will need a few sheets of letter size paper OR
clear inkjet fi lm for this purpose. It is hard to
see White ink on White paper when doing a
Nozzle Check, so the fi lm is a better choice.
Lay the paper or fi lm on top of the Garment
Holder, butting up against the zero point of
the bed. Next, click on Print from the Nozzle
Check section of the Head Cleaning Utilities
