Using Printer Utilities

The Epson printer utilities let you check the current
printer status and perform printer maintenance from
button in the
your screen.

EPSON StatusMonitor

This utility provides you with printer status
information, such as the ink cartridge status, the free
space of the maintenance tank, and a printer error.
Nozzle Check
This utility checks the print head nozzles to see if they
are clogged and need to be cleaned. Check the nozzles
when you notice the print quality has declined and
after cleaning to confirm that the print head nozzles
have been cleaned. If the print head nozzles are
clogged, perform head cleaning.
Head Cleaning
This utility cleans the color and black print heads. You
may need to clean the print head if you notice the print
quality has declined.
Print Head Alignment
This utility can be used to improve the print quality of
your printed data. The alignment of the print head may
need to be adjusted if vertical lines appear out of
alignment or if white or black banding noise appear in
your printed data. Use this utility to realign the print
head.
