Examining The Nozzle Check Pattern; Replacing An Ink Cartridge - Epson Stylus Color 740i Printer Basics Manual

Examining the Nozzle Check Pattern

Examine the nozzle check pattern you print. It should look something like this:
Each staggered horizontal and straight vertical line should be complete, with no gaps
in the dot pattern. If your printout looks okay, you're done. If any dots are missing, as
shown to the right, clean the print head again; see page 19 for instructions.
Missing dots

Replacing an Ink Cartridge

When the B black or A color ink out light flashes, the indicated cartridge is low on
ink. This is a good time to make sure you have a new cartridge. When the light stays
on, the cartridge is empty and you need to replace it.
When you need new ink cartridges, contact your dealer or call EPSON Accessories at
