Print Head Cleaning

If print quality has declined and the nozzle check pattern indicates clogged nozzles, you can clean the
print head.
Consider the following when preparing to clean the print head:
• Ink is consumed during print head cleaning. Clean the print head only if the print quality declines.
• Print head cleaning and Power Cleaning consume ink from all cartridges, even if you print primarily in
black and white.
• You cannot clean the print head if an ink cartridge is expended, and may not be able to clean it when a
cartridge is low. You must replace the ink cartridge first.
• Power Cleaning consumes more ink than print head cleaning. Check the remaining ink level in
advance, and prepare a new ink cartridge before you start cleaning if the ink is low. If the nozzles are
still clogged after performing Power Cleaning, turn off the printer and leave it off overnight. If the
nozzles are still clogged, contact Epson for support.
• Prepare a new maintenance box if the current maintenance box is low on space. Because ink used
during cleaning does not evaporate quickly, repeated head cleanings can fill the maintenance box.
• You cannot clean the print head if the temperature conditions are not within specifications. See the link
below.
• The printer may automatically perform head cleaning to help maintain print quality.
