Using The Head Cleaning Utility - Epson colour 640 Printer Basics Manual

Using the Head Cleaning Utility

Follow these steps to run the utility:
1. Make sure the printer is turned on but not printing, and that the black
color ink out lights are off. If either ink out light is on, you must replace
the ink cartridge before cleaning the print head.
2. For Windows 95, Windows 98, and Windows NT 4.0:
Click Start, point to Settings, and then select Printers. Right-click the
EPSON Stylus COLOR 640 icon in the Printers window. Select Properties
(Document Defaults in Windows NT).
For Windows 3.1:
Double-click the Control Panel icon in the Main group. Double-click the
Printers icon. Select EPSON Stylus COLOR 640 from the list of installed
printers and click Setup.
3. Click the Utility tab. You see the Utility menu:
4. Click the Head Cleaning button.
5. Follow the instructions on the screen to run the
head cleaning utility. Cleaning takes about one
minute, during which the printer makes some
noise and the power light flashes.
When the cleaning cycle is finished (the
light stops flashing), you need to run a nozzle
check to confirm that the print head nozzles are
clean and to reset the printer's cleaning cycle.
Caution:
Never turn off the printer while the
printer hasn't moved or made any noise for more than 5 minutes.
