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. Note: You can also use a printer software utility to clean the print head right from your computer. Select the ? or Help button on your printer settings window for instructions running the utility. 1. Make sure the EPSON Stylus CX3200 is turned on but not printing, and the Error light is off. (If the Error light is flashing or on, you may need to replace an ink cartridge; see "Replacing an Ink Cartridge" on page 10 for details.) 2. Press a Menu button until you see Head Cleaning on the LCD screen. 3. Press the Color Copy button. Cleaning takes about 30 seconds, during which the Stylus CX3200 makes some noise and the On light flashes briefly. Caution: Never turn off the EPSON Stylus CX3200 while the On light is flashing, unless the Stylus CX3200 hasn't moved or made noise for more than 5 minutes. 4. When the On light stops flashing, run a nozzle check to confirm the print head nozzles are clean. Make sure paper is loaded, press a Menu button until you see Nozzle Check on the LCD screen, and press the Color Copy button. The nozzle check pattern prints. Note: You can also use a printer software utility to print a nozzle check right from your computer. Select the ? or Help button on your printer settings window for instructions running the nozzle check utility. 5. Examine the nozzle check pattern you print. It should look something like this: Each staggered line should be complete, with no gaps in the dot pattern. If your printout looks okay, you're done. If you see any gaps in the dot pattern, clean the print head again. 6. When you're finished, press the Stop button. (3621 6W\OXV &;
