Maintaining Your Printer Follow the instructions in this chapter to keep your printer working at its best and to prepare it for moving, if necessary: ■ "Cleaning the Print Head" below ■ "Replacing an Ink Cartridge" on page 59 ■ "Aligning the Print Head" on page 63 ■ "Cleaning the Printer" on page 65 ■ "Transporting the Printer" on page 66 For more details, view your on-screen Reference Guide. Click the EPSON Printer Information Center icon on your desktop. Cleaning the Print Head If your printouts are unexpectedly light, or dots or lines are missing, you may need to clean the print head. This unclogs the nozzles so they can deliver ink properly. Print head cleaning uses ink, so clean it only if quality declines. This section explains how to clean the print head using the Head Cleaning utility. You can also clean the print head by holding down the H ink button on the printer for three seconds. (This only works when the red H ink light is off.) Caution: When you don't turn on your printer for a long time, print quality can decline, so turn it on and print a few pages at least once a month to maintain good print quality. 57
