Maintaining Your Printer This section describes maintenance procedures to keep your printer working at its best and preparation steps for moving your printer. Follow the instructions here for: s cleaning the print head (below) s replacing an ink cartridge (on page 63) s aligning the print head (on page 66) s cleaning the printer (on page 67) s transporting the printer (on page 68) For more details, see your electronic Reference Guide, as described on page 9. Cleaning the Print Head If your printed image is unexpectedly light or faint, or dots are missing from the image, you may need to clean the print head. This unclogs the nozzles so they can deliver ink properly. Cleaning the print head uses ink, so clean it only if print quality declines. You can clean the print head in either of the following ways: s using the Head Cleaning utility (when the printer is connected to a local port, not over a network), as described on page 60 s using the printer's control panel buttons, as described on page 61 When you don't turn on your printer for a long time, the print quality can decline. It's a good idea to turn on your printer at least once a month to maintain good print quality. If any paper you buy comes with a cleaning sheet, don't use the cleaning sheet with your printer unless instructed to do so by EPSON technical support. 59
