It's easy to keep your EPSON Stylus Photo 700 printer working
at its best. All you have to do is follow the simple instructions in
this chapter for replacing ink cartridges, moving the printer,
and performing routine maintenance.
This chapter covers the following procedures:

Cleaning the print head

Replacing an ink cartridge
Aligning the print head
Cleaning the printer
Transporting the printer
Cleaning the Print Head
If your printed image is unexpectedly light or faint, or dots are
missing from the image, you may need to clean the print head.
This unclogs the print head nozzles so they can deliver ink
properly.
Cleaning the print head uses ink, so clean it only if print quality
declines. You can use either of the following to clean the print
head:
The Head Cleaning utility (recommended) in your printer
software (if the printer is on a local port, not on a network)
The printer's control panel buttons
