Chapter 5: Maintaining and Transporting the Printer The EPSON Stylus Pro 7600 and 9600 require very little maintenance to keep working at their best. This chapter describes the following routine procedures: • Checking printer status and part life • Running a cleaning cycle • Aligning the print head • Replacing ink cartridges • Switching between black ink modes • Replacing the paper cutter blade • Replacing the maintenance tank • Cleaning the printer • Transporting or storing the printer • Uninstalling and reinstalling printer software In addition to the features described in this chapter, you can also use the printer's SelecType function to make printer settings similar to those you would normally make in the driver software (as well as other settings) directly through the control panel. For more information, see the online Reference Guide included on the CD-ROM that came with your printer. 129
