Click Print. 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. Caution: When you don't turn on your printer for a long time, print quality can decline, so turn it on at least once a month to maintain good print quality. This section explains how to clean the print head using the Auto Nozzle Check and Cleaning utility and the Head Cleaning utility. Use the Auto Nozzle Check and Cleaning utility first, to let the printer check and clean the nozzles. If you still notice problems with quality, you can manually clean the print head. Note: You can also clean the print head by holding down the H ink button on the printer for three seconds (when the red H ink light is off). Automatically Checking and Cleaning the Print Head The Auto Nozzle Check and Cleaning utility prints a nozzle check pattern that the printer then reads to see if you have any clogged nozzles. If cleaning is needed, the printer automatically cleans the print head. 1. Make sure the printer is turned on but not printing, and the red H ink light is off. (If the H ink light is flashing or on, you need to replace a cartridge; see page 5.) 2. Load several sheets of plain, letter-size (8.5 × 11 inches) paper in the printer's sheet feeder. 14 - Epson Stylus Photo R1800 2/05
