Using The Control Panel - Epson Photo 700 User Manual

Caution:
Never turn off the printer
while the P power light is
flashing, unless the
printer hasn't moved or
made any noise for more
than 5 minutes.

Using the Control Panel

Follow these steps to clean the print head:
1. Make sure the printer is turned on and not printing, and
that the B black and A color ink out lights are off.
2. Press the R cleaning button and hold it down for three
seconds. Cleaning takes about two minutes, during which
the printer makes some noise and the P power light flashes.
After the cleaning cycle is complete and the P power 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.
3. Access the printer settings dialog box as described in
Chapter 1.
4. Click the
Utility
(Macintosh). You see the Utility menu.
5. Click the
Nozzle Check
next section for instructions on examining the nozzle check
pattern.
If your print quality has not improved, repeat the steps above. If
you don't notice any improvement after doing this two or three
times, check the print quality solutions in Chapter 6.
