Using The Control Panel Buttons - Epson STYLUS PHOTO R300 Series Operation Manual

Note:
❏ Print head cleaning consumes some ink. To avoid wasting ink, clean
the print head only if print quality declines; for example, if the
printout is blurry or the color is incorrect or missing.
❏ Use the Nozzle Check utility first to confirm that the print head
needs to be cleaned. This saves ink.
❏ You cannot clean the print head if the message "ink out" is displayed
or the ink icon flashes to show ink low on the LCD panel. In case of
ink out, the ink cartridge replacement procedure will start. If you do
not want to replace an ink cartridge at this moment, press Stop
button to return the print head to its home position.
❏ Make sure the CD/DVD tray is not inserted in the printer before
using the Head Cleaning utility.
