8. Lower the ink cartridge clamp and press it down to lock it in place. (The color clamp is a bit harder to close than the black clamp.) 9. If you need to replace the other ink cartridge, repeat steps 4 through 8 before continuing with step 10. 10. Press the yellow ink cartridge replacement button and close the printer cover. The printer moves the print head and begins charging the ink delivery system. The Ppower light flashes, and the printer makes noise. Charging takes about one minute. When it's finished, the Ppower light stops flashing and stays on. Never turn off the printer while the Ppower light is flashing, unless the printer hasn't moved or made noise for more than 5 minutes. Aligning the Print Head If your printouts contain jagged characters or misaligned vertical lines, you may need to align the print head. Your printer must be connected to a local port, not on a network, to use the Print Head Alignment utility. The utility is in two parts and takes approximately 15 to 20 minutes to complete. Follow these steps: 1. Make sure the printer is turned on but not printing, and letter-size paper is loaded. Load paper that's at least 8.27 inches (210 mm) wide to prevent ink from spraying inside the printer and smudging your printouts. For the best results, use a photo-quality paper, such as EPSON Archival Matte Paper, to check the print head alignment. Don't use plain, recycled, or photocopier paper. 43
