Checking and Cleaning the Print Head

If dots are missing from the pattern, as shown below,

4 to run another nozzle check to make sure the print
head is clean.

You can use EPSON roll paper to print the alignment
patterns. Two rows consisting of sets of 15 bars are printed
across the width of the paper. It takes about 10 minutes to
print both rows.

the same number consistently has the smallest gaps.
If not, choose the number that generally has the
smallest gaps.

Check the control panel display. Use the + or –
button to select the best aligned bar for row #1. Then
press the Enter button to register the setting.

Checking Ink Levels and Replacing Ink Cartridges

When one of the INK OUT lights stays on and INK OUT
is displayed, the cartridge is empty. To replace the
cartridge, first make sure the printer is on.

Before you begin a large print job, you should check your
ink levels. If one of your cartridges is low, you can replace it
before you start. Or, you can wait until the ink runs out,
replace the cartridge, and then continue the job without
any loss of print quality.

Push the indentation on the ink compartment cover
to release the lock and open the cover.

Locate the slot containing the empty ink cartridge
corresponding to the Ink Out light. Press down on
the top of the clamp and pull it forward.

Replacing Ink Cartridges (Continued)

3

Carefully pull the empty cartridge straight out of the
printer.

If you can’t insert the cartridge smoothly, you
may have the wrong cartridge. Check the
package and product code.

6

If ink gets on your hands, wash them
thoroughly with soap and water. If ink gets into
your eyes, flush them immediately with water.

4

If the Ink Out light remains on, the cartridge
may not be installed correctly. Remove the
cartridge and then reinsert it as described
above.

Make sure the replacement cartridge is the correct
color, and remove it from its package.
If you’re using Archival ink, shake the cartridge gently
before installing it.

5

Push the cartridge clamp back into the locked
position. Make sure the corresponding Ink Out light
goes off.
