Using Ink Density Optimization Your product can automatically agitate the ink cartridges to eliminate any inconsistencies in ink density, called Auto Ink Density Optimization.

Click the Utility tab and select Printer and Option Information. • OS X: In the Apple menu or the Dock, select System Preferences. Select Print & Fax, Print & Scan, or Printers & Scanners, select your product, and select Options & Supplies. Select Utility and select Open Printer Utility. 2. Select Ink Density Optimization and follow the on-screen instructions. The power light starts flashing. Optimization is finished in about 30 seconds. Note: Do not open the printer cover or front manual feed tray while the power light is flashing. Parent topic: Adjusting Print Quality Cleaning the Paper Guide Rollers If you see ink on the back of a printout, you can clean the paper guide rollers to remove any excess ink. If plain paper isn't effective, you can use Epson Ink Jet Printer Cleaning Sheets (part number S041150) to clean the rollers. A cleaning sheet will help remove dust from the rollers, which can cause a loss of traction and prevent paper from feeding properly. Caution: Remove the instruction sheet attached to the Epson Ink Jet Printer Cleaning Sheets and do not follow the steps on it; they are not correct for your printer. Do not use the cleaning sheets that come with certain Epson special papers; they may jam inside your printer. 117
