Ink Tube Flushing
If you still see white or dark lines or missing colors in your printouts, even after cleaning the print head
several times, you can flush the ink tubes.
Flushing the ink tubes replaces all the ink inside the tubes, so flush the ink only if you cannot improve
print quality by cleaning the print head several times.
Caution: Flushing the ink tubes consumes a lot of ink and reduces the service life of the maintenance
box.

Flushing the Ink Tubes Using the Product Software
You can use the Power Ink Flushing utility to flush the ink tubes.
Before you begin, make sure there are no warnings or errors indicated by the product control panel.
1. Right-click the product icon in the Windows taskbar and select Ink Change. Then select Power Ink
Flushing.
2. Follow the on-screen instructions to flush the ink tubes.
3. When you finish flushing the ink tubes, run a nozzle check to check the print quality. If necessary,
also clean the print head.
If you don't see any improvement, turn off the product and wait at least 6 hours. Then check the print
quality again. If quality still does not improve, contact Epson for support.
