Using The Head Cleaning Utility; Cleaning Button - Epson 1270 Daily Use

Note:
Print head cleaning uses both color and black ink. To avoid wasting
ink, clean the print head only if print quality declines; for example,
if the printout is blurry or the color is incorrect or missing.
Use the Nozzle Check utility first to confirm that the print head
needs to be cleaned. This saves ink.
When the B black or A color ink out light is flashing or on, you
cannot clean the print head. Replace the appropriate ink cartridge
first.
Do not start the Head Cleaning or Nozzle Check utility while
printing is in progress; otherwise, your printout may be marred.
