Maintaining Your Printer

Follow the instructions in this chapter for checking and cleaning the print head
nozzles and replacing ink cartridges.
Tip:
To keep your Epson product looking like new, make sure you don't place anything on top
of the cover or use it as a writing surface. If you need to clean the cover, use only a soft,
nonabrasive microfiber-type cloth.
