Setting the Thickness Lever Be sure to check the thickness lever position if you print on thick paper such as envelopes or index cards, or if ink smears on your documents. If ink smears on your documents, set the thickness lever to the + position regardless of the paper type. To change the thickness lever position, open the printer cover and change the setting as shown below.

This unclogs the nozzles so they can deliver ink properly. Note: You must print a few lines (for example, a nozzle check) after each print head cleaning in order to reset the cleaning cycle. Cleaning the print heads uses ink, so clean them only if print quality declines. There are two ways to clean the print heads: t The Head Cleaning utility in your printer software t The printer's control panel buttons. Use either method when the printer is connected directly to the computer. Use the control panel when you are using DOS or the printer is connected via an optional interface card. Note: If any Ink Out lights are flashing or on, you need to replace the ink cartridge instead. If you were printing when you started cleaning the print heads, the Pause light may still be on. Press the Pause button to turn off the light and resume printing. Using the Head Cleaning Utility Follow these steps to run the utility from a Windows computer or a Macintosh: 1. Make sure the printer is turned on but not printing. 2. Make sure all the Ink Out B lights are off. 3. Access the Main printer settings dialog box. 10 - EPSON Stylus COLOR 3000 5/97
