Head Cleaning; Print Head Alignment - Epson Stylus COLOR 3000 User Manual

Head Cleaning

The Head Cleaning utility cleans the color and black print
heads. If print quality declines, use this utility to ensure the
print head nozzles are delivering ink properly. Before and after
print head cleaning, use the Nozzle Check utility to check
whether the print heads need to be cleaned (again). You can
access the Nozzle Check utility directly from the Head
Cleaning utility. See Chapter 8, "Troubleshooting," for more
information.
Note:
To avoid wasting ink, clean the print head only if print quality
declines.

Print Head Alignment

The Print Head Alignment utility aligns the print heads so
that images print clearly. Use this utility when you notice a
misalignment of vertical or horizontal lines. See Chapter 8,
"Troubleshooting," for more information.
The Print Head Alignment utility includes both black and color
print head alignment features. This utility affects only the print
heads.
